    Greetings and Salutations!!

    Hi Mr. delay pedal,

    That looks like an '80 or '81 model GS450? If so, the original Suzuki part# is 44200-30703, which has been superseded by part# 44200-30704, and finally 44200-30830. It seems they can still be purchased new from our favorite vendors. A quick parts cross-reference shows that the GN125 from '93-'97 uses the same cap. Also, the '83 GN250 and other '80-'82 GS450's use the same cap.

    Now let me say "Hi"...

        How did he do all that?

        Easy. Just go to Alpha Sports, look up the part number. Click on the part number as if you want the price, it will show you if the number has been superceded. When you get to the part number that has the price, copy the number. Now go to Babbitt's or Moto Grid, paste that number in the reverse search line on the right side, it will show you what all it fits.

        Note that you likely don't want to use Alpha as your primary source. That cap will cost you $71.19 if you get it there. You can get it at Babbitt's for $52.15, Moto Grid for $55.41 or PartShark for $52.62.

          Awww, Steve. You're like that masked magician on TV Friday nights who shows how all the "magic" tricks are done.

          Actually, that procedure is documented on my website, along with a lot of other interesting tidbits that I keep collecting from the generous, experienced members here, such as yourself Mr. Steve.
