    Cycleorings has ceased operation

    When I try visit cycleorings website, it says he has ceased operation.

    I was afraid of when this day would come. Few years ago I thought to myself, I should order a few sets for each style of carb incase he retires... Now I'm kicking myself.

    So where do we get O-rings now???

    Hmmm, this is not good. Surely Robert has remaining stock of some description?

      Does anyone communicate with him regularly? Maybe someone can buy his remaining stock, or at least get his supplier info?

        I remember a thread by Robert a while ago where he announced the intention
        to stop and asked if anyone would take over ... kicking myself too.

          I ordered several sets of intake boot o rings at the beginning of October. He only had the 40mm. He was out of the 32mm and was not restocking them. He sent the 40mm that I requested promptly. Dar

              IF you have a kit measure each one and buy from here..its what i plan on doing. Buy 25 or so of each size and never need kits again.

                Yes he did, and I ordered a set for my 1100E when he did.

                  refresh my memory. Are they nitril or viton that he sold?

                    Would people be willing to post the measurements here so we can have a record? It'd be great if you can specify quantity and size of each O ring.

                      Before we go through all that trouble, someone could just PM or email him and ask. He was just on the forum this morning, so he is still around. And he probably has the info recorded somewhere.

                        Would be great if Robert could get the sizing/part info of the various kits of O-rings to Brian, to keep on BikeCliff's website for posterity.

                          Good idea. I went ahead and sent him a PM. I asked if he would be willing to share the information, and if so, asked if he could post it in this thread.

                          Regardless of where we get the o-ring information, I think a sticky or at least an o-ring document should be made to document the necessary o-rings for each application. It'd be nice if said doc could be added to basscliffs site, or bwringers, or??? I am happy to make the doc once the data is received if no one else is interested.

                              I was looking late September, I thought my aftermarket rebuild kits would have all the o-rings, and of course it doesnt. Checked yesterday and the site is no more!

                              Any chance anyone knows what size the fuel tube o rings are and the t vent o rings are on a mikuni cv carb (82 gs650). I came on here to ask that question but saw that this thread had already been started. WHY ROBERT WHYD YOU HAVE TO SHUT DOWN?! Im so close to finishing this carb rebuild
