OEM VS Non OEM gasket sets etc.
Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2019 10:09 pm
I am well into the tear down phase of my 75 M series GT750 and doing parts inventory now. I am big fan of using OEM parts vs some dubious parts suppliers but....
For instance, the OEM head gasket is $90 USD at Partzillia USA, (79 quid) and there are complete sets of all gaskets and O rings for the engine at less than the price of 1 OEM head gasket. Now, I have rebuilt several vintage bikes and used primarily OEM parts. But with the price of the many, many parts I will need it is wise to consider parts from "Cruzinimage" and others. *I need new pistons, rings, etc. Cruzinimage set is $100 USD and Weisco is 280 USD. Opinions please?
Thanks in advance,
Sky
PS: I need a decent wiring harness for a 75 M series GT750....Anyone?
*Yes, it's the second motorbike in my house. It was my wife idea....Yay wife.
