I have a 78' GS 750 and I cannot find the cylinder head studs for the 4 center (tallest) ones for sale. I have tried suzuki dealers and the computer says they no longer make them. Any help in finding them would be helpful since three of them I had to cut to get the head off.

Parts Wanted Forum. Shouldn't be hard to find them. Lots of GS'ers have parts engines laying about. The 850 uses the same parts. The parts show as still available from Suzuki too, so where did you get the info that they are discontinued?
 
I have some in a old 850 parts bike, if I can get them out you can have them cheap. terrylee

Studs still available from Suzuki, take the part #'s in with you.
Don't rely on "parts guy", standard answer for these old bikes,
"Sorry, no longer available"
 
hey all thanks for the reply. When I went to the parts counter I looked with him and the 78' GS750 (E) showed they were no longer available. The other 750's were. So the first question since I do not have the other model is will the inner 8 studs fit my engine? My engine uses the 4 outer studs different length and the 4 inner studs (the ones that rust for some reason) are the longest of all the studs. I had to cut three of them to get the head off. These are the studs for some reason are different length. The other gs 750 show all 8 are the same length. any thoughts

I will down load a pic, can some one tell me how. the image button says what url link. Not sure what that means
 
Go here...http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

Look up the part numbers. You will see there has been some supercession, but any of the parts in the chain will work.

Go back to your dealership guy and tell him to get the parts, or order online. Boulevard Suzuki is one of the forum favorites.

Instructions on how to post photos in high resolution, plus a whole lot more, available in this link...http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

Hey guys i have a mac and i do not know how to do the IMG I have tried saving, saving link, drop, and I cannot get the picture to open. I got it : )
 
Go to photobucket. Copy the IMG link. Paste link here and the photo shows up. Do you know how to copy and paste?

BTW, I have two studs, not three. Total length is 7 9/16" end to end.

I would agree with the length. What engine model did they come off of maybe I can order the part? How much for them?

These studs came from a GS1000. As I already said earlier in this thread, the studs are the same as the 750 studs; same part number. Please go to the link I posted and check the part numbers for yourself. Check both the 750 and the 1000. As mentioned also, these parts are not discontinued so you can still order new.

If you want to discuss obtaining these, send me a PM.
 
Thanks for the help the GS 1000 only came out with GS100 typo error that is why I did not understand. I will call them today and order them thanks again.
