GS1000 float bowl gaskets.

A search has turned up that a number of people do not like K&L float bowl gaskets.
Is there another option beside OEM?

I've read threads about some of the other bits in the kits being bad, but not the gaskets. I've got them on my 850, and don't see any difference vs OEM.

I usually make my own any more. Most parts besides the float needles aren't needed and gaskets are pretty costly for what they are.

K&L gaskets are fine.
It's the only aftermarket kit I will use but only if I do not have stock stuff.

I ordered some aftermarket float bowl gaskets when rebuilding the carbs for my 750. Unfortunately, I don't remember which ones I bought now or where I bought them from. But I do remember that they didn't fit right. The looked right, but were just a hair too long in one direction and at least one of the holes was off.

Z1 Enterprises likely has K&L float bowl gaskets and I'm positive that they would take them back if they didn't work for you.

Also most of us just reuse the existing gaskets if they are not torn.

I get a 4 pack from Sirius Consolidated out of Canada for 9.00 plus shipping . On the home page select Suzuki and then carb parts. Even with the3 shipping they are the cheapest i have found yet and havent had any leaks so far.

Thank you for all the responses.
This set of carbs had home made gaskets that were a pain to remove.
