I've been fishing for weeks to find a good seal kit for this old bike I'm rebuilding. I am running into a problem and finding myself going in circles, so I thought I pose my question here, risking ridicule

I found this kit for a 74-75 G3SS on eBay: gotiny.cc/6y6zpw
But I've found these series of seals on CMS: gotiny.cc/6mtfe5

However, on CMS, the seal part numbers show several supersessions for the "original" part numbers, that appear to be the same seals as what I'm seeing in this kit from eBay. I guess I need a second, third, or 15th opinion on this before I pull the trigger.

Additionally, I'm trying to find other sites that could be a good source - found this one but no seals that I need:
Vintage Kawasaki, Online Store

I appreciate the assistance.

If you have the old seals they usually have the seal numbers on them. Take them with you and visit a local bearing supply house and they can probably match them for a fraction of the price you would pay elsewhere.

Yeah I need to find one - when I lived in Nashville, I had access to a bearing/supply house and...well, I'm not in TN anymore...

Thanks for that - I will check around.

Got the seals - things are moving fast. I've been really bad about tracking my progress with videos, but I've been able to capture a few that I intend to share. Here's the first of several if anyone's interested in following along w/ the build:
