Good morning; I just read through your previous posts and WOW you got a lot going on ! I have an early 85 k100rs last winter I did a rear mainseal job, read the manual , read the forums and swore it did not have the spacer, told myself it wasn't in there aint going back in. Finally comes reassembly day , and BAM there it is still stuck to the back of clutch carrier, right where it belongs. So take a really close look! I knew for sure I was the first one in this far, but you say your seal was torn, is it original style seal or was it replaced earlier? GOOD LUCK!!
