GS1150 valve cover bolt washers

[Guest]

I set the valves on my 85 GS1150 and 2 of the rubber washers that go under the hold down bolts were torn {the rubber part}. has anyone had any luck finding something like these at a hardware store or any where for that matter ? Ill try the dealer Monday but they don't stock parts for older bikes. I see some on Ebay but don't really care for paying $25 to get 2 washers

I bought a set over the winter...it was far less then that. I'll check later.

The oil cooled GSXRs & Katanas use the same washers. A dealer will have them.

I havent found the receipt, but im fairly certain I paid under 3 bucks each at the local shop.
Also, be careful tightening those. They strip out easily. I had to helicoil one on mine.
