Was wondering where I can get replacement damping rod seals for a 78 gs550? They're the white plastic clips that go on the top of the damping rods inside the front fork tube

Wherever you prefer to get OEM Suzuki parts.
Here's one source -- only $5.75.
http://www.partshark.com/fiche_sect...y=Motorcycles&make=SUZUKI&year=1977&fveh=2106
Since this is a small part, you might want to order through your friendly local Suzuki dealer if there's one conveniently nearby. It'll cost more than the discount site above but you won't have a shipping charge, and you can probably have it in a few days.
And check your local dealer's web site -- many now let you order OEM parts online at a discount.

thanks! I was looking at the parts fiche before posting my original post, and it looked like the part you mentioned sat on top of the damper rod.
(borrowing a pic on the 'net)
in the pic (the grey plastic thing above the spring)
Anywho...I only need to replace one because I accidently nuked one while brazing/filling up the rebound holes (for emulators). That's what I get for rushing. The clip got all puffy...so I took a dremel drum sander and knocked it down round.
