    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.

Mystery part....

Hi all. Does anyone know what this part is called, and where I might get one? Is my '93 U.S. model even supposed to have one? I've checked the parts fiche on Suzuki Partshouse for all three years that this bike was sold in the U.S., and I was not able to find it. Perhaps it's on bikes that were sold in Europe?

I couldn't find them in a quick run through the GSX1100G fiche, but on its little brother the VX800, they're called "COVER, FRAME HEAD RH" and "COVER, FRAME HEAD LH" and they appear on the frame fiche.

https://www.alpha-sports.com is a good resource for looking up parts that are probably no longer available -- they include all part numbers, and if a part has been superceded they'll step through each new part number. Too bad their prices are nutso.

Doing a quick Google image search, it looks like it's a part not used in the US. You see it on bikes from Europe, Australia, the UK, etc. but not the US.

Here we are: yep, it's a UK/Euro part - #18 on this diagram:
