Just checked and the Harbor Freight kit and the O-ring size that fits is 6.8 x 1.9. Robert doesn't volunteer what sizes come in his kit and there is no guarantee that his O-rings will be the same size. Regarding Z1, there is no guarantee they will admit a problem either. I didn't even bother contacting them after experiencing the O-ring problem based on past experience with problems on some parts they sell. I love Z1, but they are not very forthcoming in terms of admitting fault.

After converting the metric sizes supplied by derekb to the English system and checking what the local chain auto parts store offers it looks like 5/16 ID and 3/8 OD might be a good fit. If not for having to pack everything I own on my bike I'd probably just get the HF kit and be done with it.2001 Kawasaki Voyager XII (Current bike)

orings are based on two measurements..the ID and the durometer. All you need is one of Roberts kits and a digital dial caliper and youll know his sizes in 5 minutes. I have bought from these guys before when needing some one off oring.

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

chuck,
O-rings are sized by thickness x ID. Durameter and material type are separate characteristics.
As someone that has made my own Tee's several times before I can tell you that the depth and width of the groove, in addition to the ID of the mating hole, will determine what size O-ring is needed for the application. I've not compared the OEM Suzuki Tee size against the aftermarket version Z1 sells and I would NOT assume they are the same.
Below is a Tee I made for a Keihin CV34 carb set.
