    I think I'm gonna go ahead and buy that. The Jet has been running a bit hot in this heat wave we've been having this week. This should take care of it...

    Anybody got a good line on some coolant lines, and a radiator setup for me? And I'm running low on blinker fluid...

      I'm pretty sure the radiator and hoses from any '70s model Ford pickup should bolt right on



      For blinker fluid, best source is probably Nickle Town Customs. I don't have the link to their website but Ichiban Moto (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC28...bK77M5Qyc3Dn7g) uses their stuff all the time. Seems high quality.

        For all those hard to find customization & maintenance products, from blinker fluid to airplane conversion kits!



        Maybe we can suggest they supply after-market cooling systems parts for the GS's as well...

            This place is the hidden gem I've been looking for. My shopping cart is full their stuff now. Everything from the Passenger Noise Reducer to the Pilot Wrench. Have to wait until my next paycheck to pull the trigger but can't wait to get a big performance boost from the Adjustable Power Band!!!

                Not to be a kiljoy, but I sent the ebayer of the "850G coolant tank" a message stating-
                "Hi, not to be a jerk but 1980 Suzuki GS850Gts were air cooled...I own one....perhaps that's from a Suzuki GT750 triple/two stroke water buffalo?"
                ...wonder what they'll list it as next time around...unless one of you guys snatch it up....I got spares!

                  Hmmm, the "get lowered T shirt" looks good...poke some fun around the lowered cruiser crowd around these parts....a fresh can of "elbow grease" can't hurt...I need a 710 cap - I could cap that pesky oil filler tube that I lost the cap too...and I'd really do the engine oil bypass kit, but my '40 block already has that {the spare '52 block is a full oiler though}
                  ...sure they have a car to airplane conversion...but of course there's no motorcycle to plane kit...sheesh...

                        I wrote to him as well when I first saw it. He responded "Thanks for the info". But the auction remains unchanged.

                          I've seen the same reaction from seller's with other listings. whatever

                            Last year there was a clown in Indiana listing a 1982 GPZ750 on ebay, with a Buy It Now price of $2,200. He had a written description describing it as "mint", but the picture was one he had pulled off the internet of another bike. I contacted him and told him he was in violation of eBay's policies, he told me to mind my own business.

                            The bike was also listed on Craigslist with the same picture. With it being about an hour away, I contacted him through CL and said I wanted to look at the bike. The bike was far from "mint". Aftermarket exhaust, non oem seat cover, rusty shocks and bolts, etc.... Pretty good shape, but nowhere near mint. Hell, it couldn't be started, the carbs were gummed up. He said he knew nothing about motorcycles, that it was his uncle's bike, his uncle had died, and he was selling it for his aunt. I pointed out the discrepencies, told him he should post actual pics of the bike, and that I wasn't interested because he was asking too much for it and misled me on the condition. I did take a few pics of it before leaving.

                            I sent the pics to ebay notifying them of seller fraud. Two days later, the listing was "removed by seller due to discrepancy in description". He still left the original CL post up though.

                            It was up for a couple months or so, unchanged except for the price dropping once in a while, until it went away too.

                              Clearly a CBR125R pretending to be 600cc. These bikes sell for $1200-1500 in my area with much lower kms.
