    GS550 Exhaust Gasket Question

    Hi,
    Can someone take a couple of accurate DC measurement of 1977-82 GS550 2V exhaust gaskets? The ones that seal between the cylinder head and header pipe. I need to know the outside diameter to determine if they are interchangeable with a Kawi GPz550.

    TIA

        For comparison a GPz550 O-ring exhaust gasket measures: OD 39.50mm & ID 30.75mm
        How does the GS550 measurements compare?

          I looked and meant to text you, I don't have any spares. The 83 and newer Es are listed on Z1's website at Exhaust Gasket - 32mm x 42mm x 5.0mm
