GS 750 cam chain guides

Sort of depends on use really! If it's a low mileage, been stored in a barn for 30 years then they may be ok but rubber compounds + oil + heat + age = inbuilt obsolescence! Look for hardened and cracked rubbing surfaces and if in doubt, chuck it out! as a broken tensioner guide will make a mess of any engine!

Would the same apply to any NOS guides advertised ? 
as in becoming brittle  etc 

If genuine NOS they'll have the advantage of not being heat cycled or oil soaked so better than old 'good' second-hand pieces! Finding them is the problem!

If you have the spare money, for piece of mind get some new OEM ones from Robinson's 

Good luck with that as both listed as order / out of stock and the rear one is £350+ so big OUCH!
