About This Product
This James Gaskets starter motor mount gasket is a critical part for keeping the primary oil sealed where the starter meets the housing. It is made from .031-inch thick fiber-reinforced paper and replaces OEM numbers 31488-81, 31488-81A, 31488-81B, and 31488-81C. Sold as a pack of ten, it fits 1981 to 2022 XL Sportster models and 2008 to 2012 XR1200 models. Even a small leak at the starter mount can create a mess over time, so using a high-quality James gasket during starter maintenance is a smart move. These gaskets are precision-cut to ensure a perfect fit and a reliable seal across decades of Sportster production.
Manufacturer part number: 31488-81.
