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.

I'm in the process of looking for those for my '80 GS550. For the o-rings themselves, I read that you need a special material that starts with V...I can't remember but if you search for o-rings you'll find it, or it should be on BassCliff's site. The boots, I priced through Bike Bandit, and through Babbits, and found that Babbit's price was lower initially, but their shipping was higher, so overall Bike Bandit was a better price, but since I live in Canada, the taxes and duty and currency conversion ate up whatever money I was saving by ordering from the US, so it's about the same to get everything I need from my local dealership.

I believe I've got o-rings for both the '79 and '80 GS550. PM me the specific part number your looking for or the exact model and I can check for you.
The material is Viton and you're in luck! I'm still running my "Goodwill Free Set for Noobs" sale! Yep, if I've got 'em I'll mail you a set for free.
Normally its $5.50 to my paypal or a $5 bill and a sase mailed to me.

The O-ring material is called Viton. Holds up to heat better than Buna-N O-rings.

Any bearing and seal supplier. Get the Suzuki part number, the metric size is in the last part of the number and then ask for Viton o-rings of that size, or take your old ones to them.
