    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm sure no one has ever had any trouble obtaining a lousy O-ring from the 19 year old illiterate punk at the Suzuki dealer who only knows the letters GSXR. But just in case I'm wrong, there is another source for such things. Pretty much all of the bearings, O-rings, seals, bushings that our bikes are built with are sourced from internationally standardized and produced industrial items. None of them are specifically made just for motorcycles. Not only that, if you have part that has no identifying marks on it, these guys are quite well equipped to measure, ID this stuff, and find you a part. Best of all they will charge you far less than the dealer will. You can even upgrade some of this stuff, especially O-rings to a higher quality component. Just as an example, a local dealer won't even charge me for O-rings because the paperwork costs more than the part! They also stock industrial strength Loctite-type stuff, Extend, chain lube, odball tools, Helicoils, you name it. Give them a try. Not all of these suppliers sell to the general public so call them first.
 
I agree. Had to go to a bearing house for new races on my swingarm.

Just give the measurments, and its yours! much cheaper than any dealership will offer.
 
I'm sure this has been suggested before, but wouldn't it be nice to have a section on the website that lists all the bearings and seals on the various models, and thier dimensions and/or aftermarket part number (i.e. clutch hub needle roller bearing - NHK bearing number XX-XXX).

we could add to it as members find new sources for these parts.
