Chatted with Cometic today...
Lisa 11:41 AM
Hi There!  If you have any questions, I'm here to help.
Don 11:41 AM
Hello?
Lisa 11:41 AM
Hi, do you have a question?
Don 11:42 AM
Yes. I'm looking for a head gasket to fit a 1979 Kawasaki KZ1300 6 cylinder. Is this part available?
Lisa 11:43 AM
Do you know the bore size?
Don 11:43 AM
64 mm
Lisa 11:48 AM
Is this a copper gasket you are looking for?
Don 11:49 AM
The OEM gasket is not copper,  not sure
 
It was more of a fibre gasket with 'fire' rings
 
kind of like a silicone of some sort, for better sealing
 
Lisa 11:50 AM
Ok, let me take a look
Don 11:51 AM
Lisa 11:54 AM
we do have KZ1300 in other bore sizes in a fiber material like this one. We may have to request them in a 64 or 64.5mm bore
Don 11:54 AM
That's actually good news. 
 
I'm currently at 64 mm, and to re-sleeve is very expensive. So would like to stay at 64mm if possible.
 
What would the next steps be? And is there any quantity discount?
Lisa 11:57 AM
I can take your email and find out from the engineer what we can do.
Don 11:57 AM
BTW, I know Cometic has made them before, based upon previous searching of the topic on kz1300.com
 
xxxxxxx
Lisa 11:58 AM
Great! Let me check more into them and I will send you an email
Don 11:58 AM
... and I have a 62mm OEM gasket I could send you as a template, if needed.
 
Let me know if interested in the oem gasket via email.
 
Thank You for your time today!

Sounds like you have some bad ignition coils?? Cutting out after about 30 minutes running??
