      I'm definitely not a webmaster but according to some basic research:
      a. according to similarweb.com there is less than 5K visit/month to cycleorings.com
      b. according to https://ahrefs.com/backlink-checker there is a whole bunch of web pages out there refering to cycleorings.com
      c. according to https://whois.domaintools.com/ the renewal of the cycleorings.com domain registration is due by 2023-01-04
      I'm pretty sure we could solicit the community via a gofundme to keep this valuable ressource living and, why not, give Robert a well deserved retreat gift.
      FWIW, count me in.

        Very interesting info. According to the backlink-checker site, there was an oil change pdf and a stator page that cycleorings hosted, and between them there are 47 backlinks. Relative to O-rings, there are 20. Regarding visits, there is no data. That part would be really interesting.

          I also would contribute to web fees
          MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
          1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

          NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            Three members have ordered so far, and I've got enough O-rings for scores more.

            I'm also assembling O-ring kit for Kawasaki KZ bikes. The VM and BS/CV Mikuni's are very similar, but with slight differences. Also, I've got Keihin kits for the popular KZ750 bikes like mine! What's not to like!

            Hey Nessism

            I have a 1983 KZ1100 LTD that has BS34 Carbs, difference being that the choke is on the carb body instead of the handle bar. Do you have an O-ring Kit for these?

              Yes I do. There are a number of differences between the Suzuki and Kawasaki kits, including the pilot screw, drain screws, and pilot plugs. PM me if you want a set.

                      I'm trying to send a PM but it says " Can not send message. User Nessism has exceeded their private message quota." Not sure if I'm doing something wrong

                            Just wanted to drop a note of thanks to the community for all the O-ring sales support. As of this posting, there have been 95 shipments of O-rings for the GS community. Interestingly, for the KZ crew, for which I also offer VM and CV kits, there have only been 12 shipments. In fairness to the Kawasaki boys, I don't offer a 550 kit, though. GSR folk here are to be commended for realizing the importance of a proper carb rebuild. Do the (carb rebuild) job right the FIRST TIME, and PROFIT!

                              Ordered o-rings 7/15, in my mailbox 7/19.

                              Can't beat that! Another happy camper.

                              This is a critical service.

                              Thanks again Ed

                              Every time I've let the smoke out by mistake, they never work again.

                                Hi Ed. I notice above you said you don't have a kit for the KZ550. I recently picked up a 1981 KZ550A with the TK 22mm VM carbs on it. The bike has sat for years. I haven't done anything to it yet other than check compression.

                                If I sent the carbs to you and paid return shipping costs, would you be willing to create an o-ring kit for them?

                                We can disccuss further via DM if you'd prefer.
