    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Does anyone know if they make a REAL GASKET for a 1980 gs450l valve cover.

Thanks Bubbarandi
 
Nope, but if you can send him a good OEM gasket or a valve cover, he can make a pattern and thus supply you and other 450 owners with a gasket. That's where all the other valve cover gaskets came from.

You'll also want to research which models the gasket will fit so he can put that on the web page. The GSR Hive Mind can help with that.

Call up and see. I believe the proprietor's name is Harold, and he's a very nice guy.

I'll give real gasket a call and see if they can make a gasket out of a oem .

Any news on this? I need a gasket and BikeBandit is the only place that has them, at $18 a pop.
 
I just go to an auto parts store and buy a sheet of gasket material. Then go to Lowes and buy a couple of bolts the same diameter as the bolt holes I need in the gasket. Bolts are made with recessed ends on the thread end and there is enough of a recess that they can be used as a paper punch.
Trace out the gasket shape you need onto the new gasket material. Then lay it on a piece of plywood or a hard wood block and take the appropriate bolt and hammer and "punch out" the holes, then cut the gasket lines. Presto, new gasket. :-)
