    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

G'Day Guys, I'm doing a full rebuild on my 1981 8 valve GS1000S engine, I have the remains of a full gasket set for the bottom end, but recently used the head, cam cover, and base gaskets on another engine, so am looking for a source for a new metal head gasket and standard base gasket. Last time I bought the whole set it was over $200.00 (about $150.00 US) which I think sucks. Anyone know a better (cheaper) option? Cheers, Terry. :twisted:
 
Partsnmore.net -- $61.00 (US) for a complete gasket set for the GS1000. Will ship worldwide from Canada.

Ordered a starter brush assembly, it came within a week. No complaints.

Check ebay

Check ebay

This might be a no brainer but you should check ebay, I have found gaskets and entire engine rebuild kits on there at very reasonable prices.
 
Terry, have your tried the Old Bike Barn? They have a pretty good selection of parts for vintage cycles. I've ordered a few parts from them and they seem to be fairly responsive. I don't know if they ship to Australia (don't see why not) or if they have your particular model's gaskets, but I'd check them out.
