    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.

Bunch of stuff!!

Bunch of stuff!!

Rob:
First off you need to find a Suzuki dealer or outlet that is familiar with Suzukis'.
Once you have found one it will all come together, there are zillions of these worldwide.......whoever you've been talking to hasn't really been around the block so to say.
The gasket sets will be readily available thru a Suzuki dealer, they really are model specific as I believe yours is a shaft drive.
The exaust system probably is not still available thru the factory.....if it is it probably will be too expensive to consider. The aftermarket has a decent selection for your application but most if not all are of a four into one configuration. The brand Kerker is the most promenent brand that comes to mind.
The seat-covers are not really available from the factory, but some aftermarket seats exist......like Corbin for instance. Most people nowadays just send in their seat(torn up as it is) to be recovered in a similar type 'fabric'. They could also do up the "sissy bar" pad.
The brake pads are easily found thru Suzuki or some other aftermarket brands like Ferodo, EBC and a whole bunch of others.

Don't forget in England we call the 2-valve engines GS, and the later 4-valve engines GSX. It is easy to tell them apart visually, as the GS has round cam-end covers, while the GSX has rectangular ones.
I don't think we had a 2-valve 1100, only te 4-valve version.
So if it is a 4-valve engine you need a gasket set for a GSX1100.
Don't forget a lot of the guys who work in parts departments may never have seen a GS - they would have to be over 23 years old to be born when the GS's were on sale!
