    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.

Howdy,

I need the head and base gasket (1982 GS850G) for Monday and i will be in LA Friday night and Saturday. Are there any shops around L.A that stock the parts that you know of? Do you have one laying around that i can buy from you whole in L.A?

Thanks,
Chris
 
Hey Chris, see if you can get hold of Salty Monk (Dan), Bass Cliff or Square Dancer Lyn, one of them ought to be able to help you out.
 
If anyone is going to have those parts it would be Lynn. Regarding a posible shop that would have them, I'd try Marina Suzuki since they seem to be the only place that has parts for older bikes.
 
Yes, marine Suzuki on Marina Del Ray. I think you'd have more luck with express shipping from Bike Bandit though....

Dan :)
 
Hi Chris,

Sorry, I don't have those gaskets and I'll bet none of the dealers in my area will have them in stock. BikeBandit is really quick to deliver. My last order from them was here in two days.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Well thanks guys, i called around in L.A and no luck. I'll Call Rob at Cycle Recycle and ask him for a whole set as the head gasket alone is just as much as the full set. It leaks maybe a drop a week but i hate anything that leaks and i know it's just gonna get worse. Chef1366 is helping me out to do the operation at his house and i'm busy moving the panniers a little back. I'm hoping to add another box somewhere back there, we'll see.

I need new tires and they discontinued the Pirelli Scorpions S/T. looking for dual sport tires in the same range but no luck yet.
