GS750 forks - spacer?

[OzJavelin]

OK I thought changing the oil seals in the forks of my 78 GS750 wouldn't be too bad, but Ive hit a problem. There appears to be a second oil seal which in the manual is described as a spacer .. But it's got a seal lip, etc.

(I wrecked it when I pulled the seal cos I thought it WAS the seal)

I didn't get this spacer in my oil seal kit, and I cant find references to it anywhere. Any ideas where I can buy two???

(BTW how much oil do need for the fork when I finally reassemble? I don't have a 750manual)

Thanks,
Rod

Here is the oil seal and the "spacer"??

Just had a look on Alpha Sports at those forks and if it's number 9, then apparently it's a spacer/oil seal, so two in one by the looks.

If it's number 10 I got no idea

If your local dealer doesn't have them, they should be able to order them in, otherwise if they're discontinued try Suzi Parts in SA, not cheap but he has lots of NOS stuff.

Got some "spacers" from Suzuki (just metal washers .. expensive). Now just need to wait for another set of seals to replace the one I put in incorrectly

BTW: Still can't get to the PDF manual .. so can anyone advise the oil weight/grade and how much or how high to fill?
