    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.

im currently using parts outlaw for my susuzkis parts, but was wondering if there a better priced site to go to or maybe free shipping for my valve shims and possibly other oem parts
 
Search "shim club". Also check Z1 Enterprises.

Both of these suggestions will come up if you try searching for answers to your questions.
 
Parts Outlaw is about 100 miles east of you. Z1 is 50 miles south of you. If you can travel to either one of those for less than the cost of shipping (don't forget to add whatever you feel your time is worth), you can go to their store and pick them up.

Parts Outlaw has $4.99 shipping. No way you are going to travel 200 miles (and spend at least 4 hours) for that amount.

I have not checked Z1's shipping rate, but it's free if you spend over $100. Still, even if it's $10, you would still be hard-pressed to spend less than $10 in gas (and just over two hours) for the trip to pick them up "free".

All that said, Z1 sells shims for less than $5. Parts Outlaw sells them for just under $12.
Check with the GSR Shim Club. I don't know what the current arrangements are there, but many members use it and speak highly of the service there.
