Memory fails me right now
So I am looking at valve cover gaskets for the 77 750. I dont recal the area along the cam chain tunnel being curved like this. Last I recall it was straight across and ran perpundicular to the tunnel walls. This one is NOT the correct one...right?

The 750 and 1000 engines might swap in and out, but that does not mean that all the internals will swap, too.
All of the 8-valve 750s and the 850s have an idler wheel between the cams, which is the reason for the larger area in the middle of the gasket.
If your bike has the idler (item #6 in the picture below), you need the first gasket you showed.

Steve...i swap around on bikes so much that I only need to do valves every 2 or 3 years because non rack up miles very rapidly. I know the 750 is due and I got shims for the Cooley from Ray on hand.
I am sick and not feeling very clear headed right now. I do know the 750 and the Cooley are the same 16 bolt gaskets...when i feel better I will just have to go out and visually take a peek in. I am thinking its the second one though...but again, I assume nothing...LOLMY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Yeah, I will just order them each per whatever boulevard says they are. Bunch of Ebay listings say for 750 AND 1000 for the same gaskets. Thats why i was wondering...since its been a long time since ones gotten to checking valve mileages.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
