    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.

Sprockets and mystery parts

I would see what you can find on ebay. It is used on any other bike besides that model? Can you fabricate or at least make a pattern from the one that is broken and have one made? In the parts listing it is described as a cushion. What is the part you have made of? If it is rubber then you should be able to make one.

If its rubber I would just find a piece of rubber and cut out a new one. Not sure where you are located, but most home centers sell small pieces of rubber sheet in the plumbing section. McMaster Carr will most certainly have rubber sheet in pretty much any thickness, hardness and material needed to make the part.
 
There are literally thousands of rubber grommets, spacers and such. Surely there is one out there that would fit, or could be made to fit.
The trick is to find the place that would have the largest availability to choose from, like maybe an AutoZone or Discount Auto in the help section, or maybe Ace hardware.
Also, maybe a nylon or teflon piece would do as well or better.
 
Rubber cushion

Rubber cushion

Not sure but I've got two gs750 engines - 1 has it - the other does not. I would try test fitting it without and see if everything works without it. I do not believe it has any oil sealing function. I would snug the case bolts down slowly carefully and listen watch for any signs of case distress. However I'm no expert.
 
hey guys the upper cushion is necessary tried to fit the cover without it and it left a huge gap the lower cushion was replaced by a set of washers by the previous owner. Good news the upper cushion is usable and repairable, for the lower one if the motorcycle scrap yard don't have it I will improvise.
