    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.

Identify this part

A friend and former GS1100 owner offered to give me this part that he bought prior to selling his 1100. He offered it because he knows I'm going to be replacing the crank seal on the right side. Its been years since he had his 1100 and was of the impression that this item was related to addressing a leaky seal. So here's my question and the reason I worded the title of this thread the way I did.
Can anyone identify this after market, machined item?

That is not a "part from" a GS1100. It's been a long time but I think I would have remembered something that looked like that. A tool for r/r something????I couldn't imagine what.
 
I agree that it's not a "part from" and apologize for not clarifying that, in my opinion, it's a tool of some sort associated with a r/r process. My buddy had an 1100 and was certain that he bought it to replace a seal on that bike, although he couldn't remember what seal.
Fwiw, this whole thing came about when I told him that I was going to be replacing the right side crank seal on my '83 1100. He thought I might be able to use it but wasn't sure, again, exactly what it was meant for.
