'80 GS450 Float Bowl Gasket

[exbellicus]

I need a little bit of help finding the correct float bowl gaskets for my Mikuni carbs. I tried some searching and there is a ton of different sizes. I do not know if these are the stock carbs, I believe they are.

I found this site, but don't know which size I need. Would taking the old ones out and measuring be sufficient?

Thank You

I like www.bikebandit.com

You'll be able to search by year, make, and model and order the correct oem gaskets by looking at the schematic. They're pretty fast with shipping too.

Should be the same gasket regardless of sub-model

How bad are they? Unless ripped or chunks missing, no need to replace. They literally never fail, even when hard as a rock.

I havent taken apart the carbs yet, got an o-ring kit and realized I didn't have gaskets. The bike hasn't been registered since 93 so, at least 17 years old, probably much older.

They're cheap. Not discouraging you from getting them, just ponting out for general info I'm running 30 yeard old gaskets that are hard as a rock, and never leak a drop. It's marginal whether you even need a gasket there.

Thanks gonzo, I will try to do with the ones I have.

If not I know exactly where to order them from, thanks all
