The bike: 80 GS 1100e. I am ready to order everything in this z1 set and more to finally get it together.** Searching all the top sites, Z1, parts shark, Boulevard is driving me nuts.
Looking for guidance and suggestions on where to get or not to get following items as to minimize the headache of wrong parts or overloooked stuff. As of now my bottom end is reinstalled and am ready to start reassembling the engine. I need everything in this set.
I know the head/base gaskets must be oem. Is this an oem set?http://www.z1enterprises.com/Gasket-Set--Suzuki-GS1100-GSX1100-8082-Complete-Set-1992.aspx

Also Need:
set of 4 half moons plugs
set of 4 of the big o rings that go around the cylinder walls
set of 4 intake boots 2lefts/2rights obviously
piston rings


Also any other rebuilt parts, or suggestions on oversights you may have at this time. Just lookin for advise on best overall gasket and parts place for my needs. Thanks, I am ready to throw the money at it and need to get it movin.
If you have any of this for sale , let me know
 
Z1 doesn't sell OEM parts - that must be an aftermarket set...

I would use only OEM parts for these:
set of 4 of the big o rings that go around the cylinder walls
set of 4 intake boots 2lefts/2rights obviously
piston rings
​
Z1 does sell inexpensive aftermarket sets of those (4) half moons plugs - I've used them on several bikes with no issues. I also appy a VERY thin layer of Permatex gasket sealer along the rounded side only.

You should also replace the wrist pin circlips with new ones, and rebuild the cam chain tensioner too. Might as well install new valve stem seals while you're in there too.

Thx for the response...all the old guys must be sleeping(did i say that out loud?)lol
SO, I know about a bit of sealant on the moons, I guess I will just shop oem parts and get it all wherever. I will get new circlips, especaially cause one went flying across the garage during disassenbly and I never found it.
And every part of the engine is stripped , painted or polished except the head, so I will be still disassembling it and stripping and painting it, so I will get new valve seals/and or guides when I get there.
All good so far, thanks again.
 
I'm not a 16v engine guy but have read here that there are some critical O-rings/seals on top of the cylinder head nuts.

Part# 09280-17002
Desc O RING SEAL NUT

I might have a spare OEM head gasket in case you are interested too.

Yes, thanks I just added the o rings in my shopping cart. I am ordering with suzuki parts house.com . It says oem and the prices seem good. Plus they are close to me so it might save on shipping.
