Sorry but unfortunately neither the idle air check mix plate nor the gasket are sold separately on any 2GS. I went through this same ordeal when I took mine off to metal etch and paint my L logo. I was very nervous about messing the metal plate up because I'd have to buy a whole used throttle body to get that one plate. My gasket ripped too, but I just got some rubber/paper gasket material from the auto parts store, traced the plate, and dremeled two small holes with a small drill bit where the bolts go.
