    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi all -

been away, now I'm back.

Any idea what a reasonable price would be for a good condition 82 gs 850 valve cover? Not the gasket, mind you, the actual cover.

My bike needed a bunch of work, and i had to have the valve cover replaced. Id like to get a range of $$ of what something like that would be worth so I can tell if they try to eff me on that part or not.

Any info would be helpful, thanks!
 
If you are having someone do the work I'm guessing you paid probably $100. You could buy one on Ebay for $25-50
It must be from an 82-83 earlier covers bolt holes are different
 
Not sure when the bolt pattern changed, I have heard that it was during the '82 model run.

'79 through early '82 heads and valve covers had 16 bolts. Late '82 and later heads and valve covers had 19 bolts.

.I just did a quick eBay search for "suzuki 850 valve cover". No active auctions, but there were five hits in the stores.
