hello i have an '80 450s and i ruined the clutch pushrod a while ago. my dumbass brother took it apart and lost everything now i have it in oklahoma, was in ny and cannot find crap for parts, some clown at the local bike salvage wants 300 for a motor and wont let me take what i need. will the parts from a gs500 work? everything is missing, so i need everything under the cover, thanks
GS500 parts should work fine. AFAIK, the only difference between the GS450 engine and the GS500 engine are the pistons, cylinders, and heads.
I have a gs500 clutch that should get you started, just the clutch, no hardware, but its a step in the right direction. PM me if you're interested.
