airbox rubber gaskets

[andrewm]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of where to buy new rubber gaskets that go between the the airbox sidecovers and the airbox on these old gs' (specifically a 1979 GS750EN) on the parts fiche they don't have it listed. My bike is missing one on the left side. I'm going to weather strip both covers but feel like it would be advantageous to have that in there as well.

This is an amazing site with great contributors. Learned so much allready.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Mr. andrewm,

That part is integral to the airbox, it's not sold separately. Does this mean that the upper half of your airbox is exposed on that side? If so, you might be able to fab up something using a similarly shaped rubber piece and some rubber cement. See: How To Glue Rubber. Or you could place weatherstripping on the cover so as to seal properly. Or you could search Ebay or the Parts Wanted and Parts For Sale sections of this forum. In any case, let me share some GS lovin'.

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome Basscliff, allready been checking out all your great info thanks.

On my gs750 it doesn't cover the top of the airbox like it does on the 850. basically it just fits inside the cover and that's it. But without it there's obviously a decent amount of air getting in. Probably why my no.1 plug fouls every 400km or so. I'll see if I can track one down on ebay or fab something up.

Thanks again!

Andrew
