82 GS1100GL Engine mounting point

[Guest]

Hi all,

First dumb question coming right up!! I’m putting this bike back together and I don’t understand what’s supposed to go in this hole. It’s not threaded and is approx 60mm deep. Pictures for full clarity below:

The hole in question

[Redman]

On the 850G and 1100G (same engines as the GLs) there is a bolt that goes thru there, and then thru a hole in a web of the crankcase, and then a teardrop shapped nut. You had better find the appropiate length bolts, because if too long it can protrude into the next web and fracture the crankcase. THis bolt is also where some casesavers (or crashbars) might be mounted, that might have needed a longer bolt.

Have we seen pics of this bike yet.....?

See #23 & #25

that tear shaped nut #25 is pretty much required since cant really get a wrench on a regular nut in that location.

Thanks for the info! I definitely do not see those little tear shaped nuts in my bag of parts. I do believe I have the correct 10mm bolts for the left and right side, though.

Ok, I went in to the garage and I see it all now. It appears that my uncle (or his mechanic) had been using a regular nut and washer to hold that in. Looks like they still sell part #29, so I’ll order those up. Thanks again!

That tear shaped nut was #29 when I had the microfisch for an 850.
Is #25 on the fische for 1100G (now posted). Same part I suspect.

Babbitts list it for $2.95

Ew, other confusion. I select 82 1100GL on Alphasprt site, but the fisch that comes up is for 83 1100G.
Ah, anyway, that tear shape nut is most likley the same on any big GS.
