    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...

Suzuki Canada has lots of NOS parts still available for older Suzukis. I just picked up a center stand spring for a '79 GS1000 that the dealer in my area ordered last week. If you know of a dealer you can probably have him order the parts you need. If not try an old friend of mine, Murray Neibel, at the dealer listed below. He's been selling Suzuki since they started importing them to North America and over the years has bought up a lot of NOS stuff from other dealers who didn't do so well. Hope this helps.

I just tried at Bandit but they are out of them and not sure if they can find any. Would take 10 days to find out.

If you're talking about a hole in one of those little "half moon" plugs, couldn't you clean it up then patch the hole with black RTV silicone? Let it cure then cut the excess off the exterior with a razor and you'd never be able to see it.

Just a thought. Maybe you've already done that to get back on the road.

Hi,

Yes I tried to patch them but they have compressed over the years and it leaks from all 4 and patching did not work once it got hot.

Partsandmore is first place I tried but they are out of stock and have not found any as of yet. So they do not know when they will have any.

thanks
