ok the oil seal for my clutch pushrod is leaking i have an 80 motor gs450.the only place i could find who has the part was the dealer now the bike was an 81 i swaped the engin for an 80 engin. i noticed that the 81 motor has a retainer clip for the seal the 80 motor does not are the seals the same or should i call the dealer and tell them its an 80 motor so i dont get the wrong part
 
There are two types of 450 clutch pushrod seals - with flange and without. Go to Alpha Sport and look up the part numbers for yourself and then go to the deal to order.

Short answer: I have no idea (someone else?)
