    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

All i wanted to do was repaint my handle bar parts so i un screwed the end cap on the fork tube on one side,bad decision i didn't realizehow much pressure was in the tube, anyway the the cap flew off and now resides somewhere in my garage where i havent a clue .Does anyone know where i can get,buy or trade for another(these are the one with air shocks)or can i use one from another model suzuki? they seem to be discontinued
PleaseHELPme:( thanks
 
try looking a bit harder, it has to be there somewhere. saves the hassle and money to buy another one!
 
Similar problem when I was rebuilding my GS450 forks...
Was assembling them with new progressive springs....damn thing slipped out of place in my shop press (using as a third hand) and cap/clip/spacer went flying in different directions.

Eventually I found everything....look harder. Found my cap on the highest shelf in my garage. :D
 
Did you look up, like stuck into the ceiling? I haven't taken mine apart yet but can just imagine what THAT's going to be like since the 83 GS650G top of the fork setup is different than most..
 
nice part bouncy and rolly. Good luck on the search it probably time to sweep up the garage anyway.
