    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...

    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 need to get a clutch cover gasket for an '80 850L, the parts fiche lists two part numbers-
11482 45000 H17 and
11482 49100 H17
I know the second one fits my bike, an '82 850G, but I am less familiar with L models. Is there some way to look at the bike and figure this out, or do I have to buy both parts and then match when the clutch cover is off?
 
The clutch covers changed style in '82. So, if the one matches your '82 and the other is different it would be the one for the '80 (my assumption, not having looked at the parts listing). The G and L models use the exact same engines and associated parts, but in '82 they removed the kickstart area (in '79 it still had the kickstart and the casting for '80/81 had the spot for it but no hole or anything so the cover is longer).
 
Yep, Dan described it quite well, here are some pictures.

Look at the back of the clutch cover on my '80 and a couple of '81s. You can see the 'bump' for the missing kickstarter.

Now look at the back of the clutch cover on an '82. No 'bump' for the missing kickstarter.

Thanks guys, I know what to do. For an '80, it's the first one on the list above.
