damping rod plastic seal

[frankenwabbit]

Was wondering where I can get replacement damping rod seals for a 78 gs550? They're the white plastic clips that go on the top of the damping rods inside the front fork tube

Wherever you prefer to get OEM Suzuki parts.

Here's one source -- only $5.75.

Since this is a small part, you might want to order through your friendly local Suzuki dealer if there's one conveniently nearby. It'll cost more than the discount site above but you won't have a shipping charge, and you can probably have it in a few days.

And check your local dealer's web site -- many now let you order OEM parts online at a discount.

thanks! I was looking at the parts fiche before posting my original post, and it looked like the part you mentioned sat on top of the damper rod.

Anywho...I only need to replace one because I accidently nuked one while brazing/filling up the rebound holes (for emulators). That's what I get for rushing. The clip got all puffy...so I took a dremel drum sander and knocked it down round.
