    best place for seals and such?

    Hi all. Im in the process of learning about my gs100 1981. So far I have rebuilt the carbs, adjusted the valves, wrecked the blessed thing and now need to redo the forks. My question is, where would you kind folks suggest I get the replacement seals and o-rings for said forks. Im talking about ALL the rubber inside and out of the forks. If its rubber I would like to replace it. Does someone sell a kit for this?
    Thank you for your time and patience

    Part Shark and Cycle Parts Nation are the cheapest places to get OE parts that I know of. Not many rubber parts inside the forks but you should get new seals on top, and some new copper sealing washers that hold the damper rods on the bottom.

        Hi,

        All of my favorite vendors are listed HERE. Do a little comparison shopping and don't forget to factor in shipping charges and sales tax, if any. Rather than ordering from several vendors who offer the best prices on certain individual parts, usually you can save money by ordering everything from a single vendor because there would be only one shipping charge.

        Depending on what I need and who carries it, I usually use Partshark, CyclePartsNation, Z1Enterprises, Parts'n'more, and BikeBandit.

        Thank you for your indulgence,

        BassCliff
