Head gasket thickness?
On Schnitz's website there are 3 options of head gaskets for the standard 84mm bore:
11004-0059 OEM Kawasaki ZX14
C8460-030 Kawasaki ZX14 0.030" thick
C8460-018 Kawasaki ZX14 0.018" thick
What is the thickness of the OEM gasket?
Is the 0.030 cometic gasket a direct replacement for the OEM or is it a thicker gasket than OEM in order to reduce compression??
Anybody knows?

.030 is stock thickness. .018 is thinner for more compression
