Z1 stainless steel bolt set for 80 GS550

Could someone tell me what all this set is used for; the points cover, alternator cover, clutch cover, valve cover, sprocket cover and what else? Plus any tips to using them?

You want more than that?

Also includes (last time I checked) the valve cover beauty cap (round cover) screws.

BTW, your bike doesn't have points...which you should know, since if it did have points, which it doesn't, you should have checked them before messing with pretty bolts.

Hi,

Also the breather and cam end caps.



They look good, don't they?

I replaced the clutch cover bolts one at a time. Compare the lengths as you go to be sure you get the proper fitting bolts. I had no leaks and didn't have to take off the whole clutch cover or replace the gasket.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Copperslip......thank G-d I get all of the good Brit old bike mags or I'd be lost. As a side note, how much is a "smear"?

[cleiper]

To my knowladge a smear is a little bit more than a driblet and a lot less than a dollop.

I figured out where all but 5 of them go. The ones for the "cover where the points used to be" were easy. LOL I'm replacing all the gaskets. 4 of the 5 must be for the breather. Thanks.
