In my restoration of an '86 K100 I've run into a problem of parts being discontinued or NA. The particular part is the gasket that seals the two halves of an instrument pod. The part 62 11 1 459 232.The price is still there on one website, $8., though it is indicated as discontinued. Anyone know of an alternative part or work around?
Background, the oil light is out on this '86 K100, i.e. it doesn't turn on when power is applied and the engine is not running. Thinking the most simple reason would be a burned out bulb I opened up the instrument pod and measured continuity of the bulb. It measures at 5 ohms so there is another less simple problem. But the process of opening up the instrument pod naturally destroyed the gasket. Bike hasn't been touched in 10 years and possibly longer since the instrument pod was opened.
Thanks
