    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.

First, thank you to everyone to answered my other thread..got everything I needed. I'm having trouble finding a oem gasket set that isn't ridiculous in price, also a nuts/bolt kit to replace damaged ones and the crappy screws they have on there. So far everything's looking pretty good, one of the cam chain guides looks a little worn...but I'll be posting a thread in the rebuild section when i can get the pictures up. Anyways, I saw some post in other threads with links to websites for parts but can't seem to locate them now, someone throw me a bone and link one for me please. Also, are what are some "must/should" replace items while i have the top end apart?
 
Most obvious are the valve stem oil seals - time-consuming but physically easy to do while it's on the bench. Check the valves and seats while at it, and give them a touch up if needed.
If nothing else, it gives you the peace of mind of knowing it's all fine there.
 
One of the VERY IMPORTANT things to do is to update your profile.

Where are you? Someone might be close enough to lend a hand.

WHAT BIKE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? Please add it to a signature, so it's mentioned with every post.
Also, suggestions about 'what to do' can depend on what bike is in question.

One of our favorite parts houses is Parts Outlaw. When you get to the checkout window, enter the word BANG in the promo area, you will get free shipping.

Please keep in mind that it will take about two weeks to get your parts. NONE of the online vendors (or any of the 'down-the-street' dealers, for that matter) keep all the parts for our bikes on the shelves. They have to get enough orders for parts to meet a minimum order, then place that order with the Suzuki warehouse. Suzuki fills that order (sometimes from multiple sources) and sends the parts to the dealer. The dealer then has to re-package the parts and ship them to you. All together, it takes about two weeks.

Sorry, I had made another post but it didn't post. I thought I had mentioned that in this one. The bike is a 77 GS750
