Hi all,
I was lurking here months ago when I had a collection of GSX1100 parts cleverly posing as a single bike. Long story but now I have just taken on a 1981 GS650E, it's a project but appears to be all there and in fairly good condition.
I need to get a few bits and pieces for it such as gaskets for the clutch cover, cylinder head cover, magneto cover and a set of stainless engine bolts since these are either shabby, knackered or missing. The gaskets are available on CMS but are fairly pricey. There are a load of gaskets on Eblag for GS650's but I'm not convinced they will be correct for the E since I understand that it had a slightly different engine to the shaft drive models. Also there are loads of engine bolt kits for 750's and 550'd but the only 650's are Katana's.
Does anyone know if the engine covers and therefore gaskets were the same on the E (chain driven) and the other shaft driven 650's?
And would a 550 engine bolt kit work with the 650?
Thanks in advance.
