    1978 gs550

    A mate of mine is rebuilding his bike and needs the small plastice ring with the screw through it that goes behind the pads on the front calipers.
    He cant find a part number for it, it is on the parts fische on partshark.com but has no number.

    Can anyone help with suggestions or replacements?

    Thanks.

    There isn't a ring with a screw in it behind the pads. Piston pushes on a shim which pushes on the pad.

    Check Basscliff's web site. He now has all the parts catalogs for all GS's, including the Australian versions. Big download (in the link marked International versions) but it covers all the variants so it's worth it. If you call the local Gold Cost dealer (the thought of which makes me cold) be careful they know what they're talking about. If you have a problem, call Sydney City Motorcycles in Campbelltown in Sydney. The Suzuki parts guy (Martin) has been around since Noah and is used to dealing with old GS bikes.

      I have the part, If you can't find one closer I can ship it.
      Probably $50 to ship a $5 part.
