They did not come with o-rings and I need to find to accomplish repair. Due to the high heat from the head what does the group suggest. What have others used successfully, and where to source parts? Other small repairs needed also, carb synch, etc. but this will need to be done first. I have been to the local stealer several times, but the people behind the counter get a glazed look in their eyes when I ask for parts for my bike. thanks steve in reno do it right-do it once! gl650    Report

You should be able to find something at the auto parts store, hardware store, or a bearing supply house. 82 GL500 81 KDX175 If all else fails, read the instructions    Report

This is the first part that my local stealer had for my gl650. Reasonable cost also. steve do it right-do it once! gl650    Report
