Suzuki GS1100 G Restoration Project: Base Gasket (Day 104)

Welcome to my 1983 GS1100 G Restoration Project. This bike has been in my family since new. It was bought by my Dad new in 1985 in Ontario, Canada. He toured the US with it with my Mum on the back (both have since passed away). I imported it into the UK around 1996 and rode it around London for a couple of years. Then it sat in the garden for 10 yrs (oh the horror!). Now: RESTORATION. Please use contact form page for comments. Click on photos to enlarge. Project started 18th August, 2012.

This is what I got:

Is this a genuine product or is it a product for genuine Suzukis?
