One of our better kept secrets around Indy is a greasy, grimy little shop in a bad part of town called Cycle Recycle Part II.
From valve shims to clutch kits, tires, and lots of obscure bits and pieces for my GS850G -- they have an amazing inventory of new parts, along with vast amounts of used parts. The words "we'll have to order it" are quite rare here.
The owner has an encyclopedic knowledge of 60s - 90s metric bikes, and if you don't know already, he will always patiently explain to you how to install or use your new goodies. If you're having trouble, he's happy to help and make recommendations.
If you're not in the area, you can order all kinds of hard-to-find goodies from their web site at excellent prices. Like the shop, the web site is an eyesore, but has an amazing array of goodies for GS riders.
I was just there today to have a new rear tire installed -- I brought in the wheel and walked out 15 minutes later with fresh balanced rubber. In the meantime, I enjoyed listening to the staff help a variety of customers, and marveled at their vast store of obscure, detailed knowledge.
I highly recommend stopping by or visiting the web site if you have the chance. They're a rarity, and deserve our business.
