Parts sources

[Guest]

It looks like my "new" 78 1000 has some leaky cam shaft seals. Is there a good quality source for these as well as some other seals & gaskets? I need fork seals & there is an unidentified leak low somewhere. I have seen one source mentioned, for carb o-rings, numerous times (the name escapes me at this moment). Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks

We use http://www.cycleorings.com for the carb stuff. Robert Barr is a forum member and sells a great product. If it's the half moon seals you need I'm pretty sure they are Suzuki specific as are most gaskets. You can get them online or from your local Suzuki dealer. Most other bearings and seals are rather generic and can be had from a local bearing shop or online with various suppliers. Alls Balls make bearing and seal kits for just about everything, saves you the down time and hassle of pulling things apart to get bearing numbers and seal sizes before ordering.

Where in Montana do you hang your hat. Montana is a big state. You could be an hour from here or six.

It's a hike from here to Cranbrook. I'm in Cascade near Great Falls.

Yup it's a bit of hike for sure and a beautiful part of your country you live in. We spent a week or more a few years back poking around east of Great Falls in the Charlie Russell Wildlife Area. Did some paddling on the Missouri, hiking, biking and traveling some great back roads with the old red truck. A wonderful time.

More importantly, you were in a Bigfoot!!!!

Yes beautiful Area! I also have a BigFoot, Nice camper mines old, been fixing it up, Cam seals remove wash clean area and put some yama bond 4 around the seal area and replace, I don't think recall ever having to actually replace any just seal em up. ! I also Like the Loctite Gassket Eliminator (Purple Stuff) I actually got my friends old (1977) Sportster to stop leaking from the side covers using that stuff!!

So, I ordered just over $100 worth of parts from Babbitt's Parts House. The shipping was $30!!!! My biggest gripe is that it's been over a week and I still don't have my parts!!!! I'm guessing it will be Monday before I get them! I didn't even get a tracking number. For $30 you'd think I'd at least get a tracking number!!!

Sorry. Rant over.
I will be looking in to other Suzuki parts sources next time.
