    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

no, i cant find any body that carries parts for my 78 gs1000. i need new springs and seals for front forks and i wanted a set of new rear shocks. any help would be thankful .... :confused:
 
Calm down...take a few deep breaths. Feel better?

Welcome to the sometimes frustrating world of vintage bikes. There are not a lot of OEM parts for the '78 GS1000. You could try www.bikebandit.com, they might be of some help. For those springs and shocks, you should consider getting Progressives. Available form bikebandit, and other sources.

For the rest of your needs, there's always ebay. And you can also post your wish list in the classified section here on the GSR. Happy Hunting.
 
thanx, they had alot of stuff to fit my bike w/ pretty good prices\\:D/
 
I didn't have a problem for mine. I go to my local Suzi' dealer and they get be what I need.

Sometimes a little romance would be nice before they bend me over the parts counter and grudge fvck me, but at least I get my parts.
 
I went to my local Suzi shop with a huge wish list of parts for my 1000 & my 1100. When I mentioned bikebandit.com to the guy behind the counter, he frowned and said he couldn't beat their prices. He did agree to match them, though! I didn't get the AMA discount, but I saved on the shipping. Moral of the story...don't be afraid to "negotiate"

Still, it doesn't matter what source you use, discontinued is just that.
 
$39 PER intake boot! I haven't checked bike bandit, but I think I can do better.
