    Having trouble finding valve cover gasket

    Can anyone help me find the valve cover gasket I would need for my 1983 GS1100G? I've ordered a couple already and both have been wrong.

    Here is a shot of my cover..

      Make sure you're ordering one for an 82-83 8V engine with 19 holes. The 19 hole gaskets are found all over the place.

      You need to be ordering part number: 11173-49020 if buying OEM.

      Here are an ebay listing that sells them in pairs for $12.99 in pairs with free shipping:

      Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

          What was wrong with the ones you ordered. Please be as specific as possible. Not the same hole count? Wrong shape?

            1 was too large. 1, the holes did not line up. Here is a picture of the 2nd one I tried.

              That second one is for an older model 78-81 style GS1000. The part number I gave you above should work.
