Wondering who would be a good source for high quality gaskets? Looking for engine case gaskets mainly. Anyone have a good, high-quality, fast source?

Stick with OEM original Suzuki gaskets. You can still get them at your local Suzuki shop. Lately I've been getting them from Bike Bandit but only because I had a big order with free shipping. I usually like to support my local dealer.My Motorcycles:
22 Kawasaki Z900 RS (Candy Tone Blue)
22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)
79 1000e (all original)
82 850g (all original)
80 KZ 650F (needs restored) -
Yeah me too, but there is not a Suzuki dealer in Lexington, KY, that I know of anyway. Guess I'll go to Parts Outlaw since I need some other stuff too. That 'bang' code for shipping is nice also! Thanks!Ron

Partsoutlaw.com and use promo code BANG for really really cheap shipping(used to be free). Another fast option is to make your own from gasket material you can get at most parts stores. I cover the mating surface with black sharpie or machinist die,place it down on the gasket material and on wood and use a rubber mallet on the part. The wood will give some and it will leave a good enough impression to follow. Use and X-Acto knife to cut it and then a paper hole punch for the bolt holes. I made a stator cover gasket last week that way for my 1100E after fixing the sheared off bolts from my starter clutch.
There are other ways as can be seen on YouTube.Comment

I've had okay luck with aftermarket gaskets from places like Z1 Enterprises and ebay. Head and base gaskets from Suzuki only. On my bucket list is to try my luck making gaskets from material.Comment

I think half of what you see on ebay is guys cutting their pen gaskets.Jordan
