Best place to get seals?

[slyone]

hey everybody...I see like 5 or so places to get stuff< Is there 1 or 2 that rise above the rest as far as quality/price? I need to get all the seals needed to clean the carbs..? Oh also, what about the cleaning solution? Is it a 1 gal. or % gal. can? any basket/needed? Thanks for all the great participation!

cylle o rings.com is a site put together by a memeber of this forum. They will have a complete o ring set for your carbs.
Make sure you get the intake boot o rings also they are only about 4 bucks more and get Berrymans carb dip in a gallon can at auto zone/advanced auto .
Have you seen bikecliff page?

oh wow, that looks cool..why can't I find any "owner's" manual pdf for my 79' anywhere? I got a repair manual but would like to check out an owner's manual...?

There is a basket in the Berrymans can so that helps. For general parts/other seals/gaskets I use Boulevard Suzuki or Babbits. Lots of guys use Z1 because they are very knowledgeable about the parts you need.

Found this thread about oil using the search feature...http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=195910
There are many others.

OK just ordered a seals kit from cycleOrings, now it seems the only other parts needed are the bowl and slider cover gaskets correct?
GSsuzuki is $40.00 for the 2x4 gaskets... liken the make your own.. any other/better spots for the gaskets? TIA!
ps got the carb dip at autozone last night

If you are kind to the top cover gaskets, you can re-use the 33 yr old ones. They are better than the junk on ebay. And they are just dust covers.
The bowl gaskets are $8 set, but are cut a little "generous". They work, but have to be "stuffed in" to work. :-(

Yea I saw your remarks about those bowl gaskets on another thread...Might just try the make your own route as Nessism does/suggests...
