    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...

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.

Which head gasket for GS750 with 69mm pistons?

I've got a set of GS850 cylinders and pistons to go on my 1979 GS750.

Will an OEM GS750 head gasket have a wide enough inside diameter to fit these or should I get an 850 head gasket? The 750 pistons are 65mm and the 850 69mm.

I'm looking at both on ebay and the 750 gasket has rubber(?) type rings on the outside bolt holes, whereas the 850 doesn't.

I currently have this OEM GS750 gasket at the moment with the built in rings and have had no leaks, so I would prefer to get the same again.

Thanks
 
All the rubber o-rings are necessary to keep the oil in the galleries.
also check that the aluminium material around where these o-rings sit are good....if not get a guy who's good with aluminium to weld this material back into place otherwise you will have a leak...I did
