    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...

    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.

Hey guys,
Got the engine back from the machinist and everything went really well. Only one problem. One exhaust valve is no good and needs to be replaced.

I thought about ordering locally but I just can't stand the local Suzuki shop Modern Motorcycle. Anybody who's been there knows exactly what I'm talking about.

What are your suggestions for the best site to order this sort of thing. Boulevard Suzuki isn't bad but it took nearly a month for my last shipment from them to arrive.

I'm looking for an exhaust valve for a '78 GS750

thanks!
 
Ask nicely on the forum here under parts wanted and you will be surprised. A used valve will work just fine once ground.

Agree. Bet you can find one for next to nothing.
 
I sent him an E-mail last night just after he signed off on here at 9:30.
Perhaps he hasn't checked his E-mail yet?

Hey thanks for the tips everybody. I just worked something pretty darn reasonable out with Eric. I want to give him a big shout out for contacting me!

This is the last piece of the puzzle for my rebuild project. I don't have a working highway capable bike at the moment and right now is when I want to be doing some trips so this is helping me big time.

Thanks Eric!
 
The seat is fine. I just had new guides put in as well as the seats and valves done at a machinist. They said there was a defect in one of the valves and they couldn't do it properly. It looked like an impurity in the metal to me. Everything else turned out great. Even have the gasket surfaces trued and the cylinders de-glazed.
 
Eric helped me out with an e valve also. BTW I will be sending the one I didn't need back to you this week Eric. Thanks a million!
