A little assist please

[michaelj_444]

So hi guys and gals. Haven`t been on for a while but sometimes life happens. I could use a little help. I`m getting ready to install the new (bought from a member here) gauges on my `81 Gs1000g and I`m trying to find what Suzuki calls "Plate, under" for the gauges. I don`t have a problem buying new but can`t decide where to order from. Also need a battery hold down as the one I ordered last year can`t be found. Probably lost in the move. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead.

Technically, this forum is not for technical questions, but I guess that "where to buy a part" isn't all that technical.

Parts Outlaw has it for about $45. It appears to be the chrome cover behind the gauges? I have one in decent, but "less than perfect" condition that I removed from my bike when I installed a new one.

If your "battery hold down" is the rubber strap, it is $2.73 at Parts Outlaw.

For better or worse, Parts Outlaw has a flat-rate shipping charge of $9.99. Also note that, like all the other OEM vendors, it takes about two weeks to get your order. They have to order from the main warehouse, wait for delivery, then re-pack and ship to you.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the heads up. I think I try Parts outlaw as I`d like to have the parts new. The way thing's are going I don`t se me being on the road for at least another 2 weeks.

I use PartsOutlaw. They are great!

I'm gonna use "Bang" code and see if that still works.

As of two weeks ago, it did NOT work.

It was nice while it lasted, need to see if they will bring it back.
Doesn't necessarily have to be free shipping, maybe drop it to $5.

Mike, I hope you find everything you need for your bike.

EDIT: I ordered over $100 of parts today and got the $9.99 shipping. Got the Starting Relay ($68.31) and the Fuse Case Assy ($51.97) plus other various bits & pieces.

Thanks gday but I`m on the other side of the planet. I took Steve`s rec and ordered from Parts Outlaw. Fingers crossed. Thanks to all for the assist.

Just an update. Thx to all for your replies. Just checked my email and the Parts Outlaw tracking info was there. Should have my parts Wednesday.
