    Gas cap gasket

    Hello. Anyone know the part number for a gas cap gasket on a 1980 GS1000L? Babbits fiche doesn't show it separate from the gas cap. Internet searching is finding some gaskets, but none specific to a GS. The original has a lip and is on a thin metal ring that may or may not come with the gasket. Closest I've seen is 44248-12000, but it's not listed for the GS. Thanks.

    1980 GS1000L, all stock.

    Just curious if you ever found out an answer for this. I was going to buy a new cap....but wouldn't mind keeping it original if I can find a gasket.

    Thanks

      I never did, but someone said they bought the Chinese ebay gas cap for cheap and pulled the gasket from it. Said it worked great.

        I did that. Weirdly, the new eBay cap didn’t fit right. But I was able to pull that gasket off and replace the one one the original and that worked. YMMV.
