    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

4/14/07: I'm updating this thread to record links to any decent parts or information resources that I come across. If you have a source that you feel has something to offer the GS community and is reliable and trustworthy, please feel free to share it here. Thanks!

Original Post:
This site was offered by another GS-er on the site and I ran across it while reading around the forums here in an effort to learn about a GS550ES that I'm getting road ready. I found the site to be a convenient resource for parts information and graphics, although the pricing on the site seems to be a good bit higher than what's offered by my local dealer. Use it in good health!

Yeah, I use the site to get factory part numbers, and order a good bit of stuff from Ron Ayers for all my gsxr suspension mods, and go to the local dealer for GS stuff that Ron Ayers does not carry...
 
Ahhh! More good web resources. Thanks!

If anybody knows of more good websites, please add 'em here. Thanks!

If found these guys when searching for carb parts. I haven't done business with them yet but what I do know is that they're parts diagrams are at least twice as clear as the same diagrams found on BikeBandit.com. For my bike, they seem to have more of the carb parts than any other site I've found.

FYI: At least one GS-er has had a bad experience with these guys: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=107724

I think I'll have to stay clear of doing business with this site, but I'll still use their parts diagrams. ;)

Move the thread????

I suggest you guys move this thread to the proper forum. GS Links is dedicated specifically for this information. Great idea putting it all in one thread though! :-D

Good point. I'll make the request to the admins. Thanks!
 
Best I have found...

Best I have found...

After many hours cruising the Net, the best place I have found for Suzuki parts online is Pro Source Motorsports. They have the best prices and thus far have sent everything correctly!

www.prosourcemotorsports.com

I got a complete air filter assembly (Foam and Metal Support Frame with attached seal) from them for $39 to fit my 1982 GS100Gz.

Good Luck, Bruce
 
Baltimore Cycle Salvage of Baltimore, MD

Baltimore Cycle Salvage of Baltimore, MD

According to Dean of Baltimore Cycle and Salavage, this is the #2 bike salvage company in the country. I haven't verified that, but I don't have any problem believing it because yesterday at Baltimore Cycle Salvage I put hands on two used sets of Mikuni BSW30SS carbs for my 1985 GS550ES. They also said they had another two sets on hand at their off site storage. This is fairly impressive, I think, due to the fact that these carbs were apparently only run for 2 or 3 years (these are the infamous two barrel carbs that both Suzuki and Mikuni seem to disavow.) and I only found one set on all of eBay for $15 more before shipping costs.

They used to have a website, but Dean said that they took it down due to poor design and were in the process of redesign, but it didn't sound like he expected a website anytime soon. So if you'd like to contact them, here's the old school info of their business card:

Baltimore Cycle Salvage, Inc.
232 N Franklintown Road
Baltimore, MD 21223

410.233.7090
410.962.1335 (alternate)
 
FindMyPart.com

FindMyPart.com

http://www.findmypart.com/

I submitted a request yesterday for my hard to find carbs (these are the infamous two barrel carbs that both Suzuki and Mikuni seem to disavow) and had two different vendors/salvagers respond within hours. Very cool.

PS: I haven't verified the vendors stock as I located a set locally (see previous post).
