82 GS550E Rocker Cover Gasket

[Pjl83]

Hi guys. I’m struggling to find a rocker cover gasket for my 82 550E. All the ones I’ve seen have 16 holes (like the ones pictured). I can’t find anything that has the extra (17th) hole at the front for the chain cover (circled red in the cover picture). Can anybody help with a part number or supplier please? I asked the same question on a GS owners Facebook group but so far no joy. Hoping one of you OSS guru’s can help me out! 
 

thanks in advance.

Thanks @TonyGee  the 650 one does look the same and it’s a third of the price.

For further use, the 650 top end fits the 550 bottom and the cams from the 650 fit the 550

Yes it's cool, the 650 top end fits the 550, the 850 top end fits the 750 and the 1100 top ends fit the 1000, the gsxr750 dot heads fit the 1127 and 1157 engines and much much much more.
