    this can't be the price for an OEM gasket

    I'm gathering parts before I do my valve adjustment, and came across this price for a valve cover gasket for my 82 GS850G.

    has anyone purchased a gasket from here before?

    Stock up on them. Same part at Babbitt's is $36.

      The gasket for my bike is $17 from PartsOutlaw. That's a good price! Go for it. If you're unsure, check their return/guarantee policy first.

            My real question is why would you go online for a part that's $45 retail, get a $3 discount and pay $6 in shipping?

            Why not see what your local Suzuki dealer charges? At least you won't wait for shipping time from NC

              I'm confused by your statement. The price listed on the link I shared is less than $8.00.

              Either way, the site wouldn't let me add anything into their cart. Sourced it elsewhere and it's on it's way to me.
