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, :)

Cruzinimage pistons have been used by members here and seem to be good,
As for head gasket use either Orem or Anthea,Forget the cheap one’s.

There is only one head gasket that I use and that's from Cometic in Ohio.

For stock bore or one size over, order a 71.0mm gasket which they will make to order. ALL aftermarket and OEM gaskets are far too large unless they are made to order. Cometic makes them to your stated size.
