    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.

GS1000 tail trim..?

Anyone know where a person might find the chrome molding that goes around the back opening of a GS tail piece? I've searched eBay, the parts for sale forum, and gone to Suzuki, to no avail. It looks good without it, but I'd just as soon replace it with a nice new/used one if possible. Thanks.
 
Good luck

These have been out of production for years.

Just keep looking
 
I know a guy that sells the self adhesive chrome detail strip that you knock over a lip and it snaps in place. I'm thinking about putting some around the seam on my 650 tank, i'll be going to see him a week this Saturday. When i get some, i'll try a bit on my 1000 tailpiece and if it makes the corners ok, i'll let you have some. I'll keep you posted on this, if you get sorted in the meantime, that's ace, it'll be a hard one to find i think as most bikes (especially parts bikes) have been repainted by now and "lost" the original strip.
 
I have one off of a '79 gs850--not perfect [slight crack inside both corners] but very usable--if this will fit let me know and it's your's for the shipping cost! :cool:

Wow! What an incredibly generous offer. Thank you very much. I've sent you a PM with all my info. This is the reason I come to this site. Amazingly accommodating people sharing the same passion for these bikes.
 
You didn't mention what favour of GS1000 you had. It matters as the trim for the G model is different than for the E. The G has squarer corners. The E ones are scarce as hens teeth but you occasionally come across ones for the G. Good Luck.

Ahh..didn't know that. Thanks for the tip. It's a '79 GS1000S model. Hopefully I've been taken care of, but I'll still have an eye out for a new one someday.
