Hi all, any feedback on the Z Power pattern head gaskets? are they ok? I have a genuine O ring but being tight there is a massive difference in the cost of genuine and pattern gaskets.
Thanks.

I've found their pattern gaskets sets to be garbage in recent years.
I'ev always found Vesrah to be much better.

Wow!
I've generally found the opposite. One of the best clubs I've ever been a member of.

I participate in a number of different forums for the different bikes I own and I find this one to be one of the best for help and advice. Having never purchased the pattern gasket sets in question, I for one am unable to comment on the quality. Maybe you should purchase the gaskets and form your own opinion and then you could share it with those of us who don’t know the answer to your question which is why we’ve been unable to help you.

So you get a magazine and a forum for £12 renewal… you think that’s bad value? Also the magazine is full of contact phone numbers lots of helpful people willing to give advice the old fashioned way.

Maybe the early Gen Z's are riding vintage bikes now.

Any gasket is garbage if you dont prepare the mating surfaces correctly, and if you call Z Power and speak to them they will guide through the maze and assist in any way they can

I actually had attempted to reply, praising the vertues of a Cometic Head and cam cover gasket I got recently for a 1100A2, when the phone rang and I put down the ipad and forgot to finish! That was 2 or 3 nights ago! I read you comment and went looking for my reply to discover I hadn't posted it!
