    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I keep seeing 82?-83? GL engine kits, will these fit?
Does anyone have a part # and or direction as to where to find a top end kit?
Spoke to local Suzuki and was told ?Longer available?. He was young, and I am fully aware of how CS is so lacking these days. But, am running out of resources to find the correct gasket set.

Thanks for any replies...

The later kit should fit with some minor differences. The valve cover maybe. Realize of course that you could order individual gaskets in lue of a "kit" if necessary.
 
Yep, the main difference is the valve cover gasket. The '81 and early '82 had 16 bolts, the late '82 and '83 had 17 bolts.

If you look on the parts fiche and many order forms, they give the engine number where the change occurs.

.
 
I used the 17 bolt version on my 1981 GS650GL and just trimmed off the portion with the extra bolt hole. No leaks, no problems.
