ebay gasket woes...

Some time back I purchased a set of case gaskets off ebay. claimed to be for a 1980 gs850. Last night I planned on installing my new heavier clutch springs and inspect the clutch bits.. Unfortunately, the clutch cover gasket doesnt fit... I do have some gasket material luckily, so I guess I'll be making it. Its never easy is it...
 
I wonder if they might have been for '82/'83 850?

The only difference that I know of in the case gaskets is the clutch cover.

The newer one does not have the hump at the back where the kickstarter was on the '79 model.

Yep, that's the gasket for the '82/'83 bikes.

You can see the difference in the clutch cover here:

And their famous catch phrase "Its the buyers responsibility to make sure this part fits their model" I have found dozens of inproperly listed parts on e bay.
Like tscu's listed as igniters. lol
Sorry for your issue, the great anticipation of receiving our orders .....only to get the wrong thing:(
 
you said it. if i remember, the picture on ebay looked different than the gasket i received. cant find the ad now. but i learned my lesson for sure.
 
Was the gasket that much less expensive than just getting it from Z1? :confused:
I have them ship me gaskets for several different models all of the time.

Gasket kits from ebay are either wrong, or paper thin!

This is why I make my own.
