    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.

Hi guys, been searching and searching on the net for a set of standard 1978 GS550 piston rings, yes there are places like bike bandit, but the problem is, I live in New Zealand (where the local Suzuki guy wants $130 per set!!!) and Bike bandit etc want $80 to ship, as they only offer the top UPS international service.

All I want is a set of standard rings, at a reasonable price and that I dont get my pants pulled down over the price of shipping either, they only weigh a few grams!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Mate try www.boulevardsuzuki.com or www.z1enterprises.com

I have used both companies. They are both in the US. Postage will be a bit cheaper than Bike Bandit. Boulevard can take a while to reply and you can only order via email. Ashley will deal with you at Boulevard and is very nice.

If you need any other parts, it would be a great time to get them as well and save on shipping costs.

Regards
 
Thanks GED, have emailed Boulevard as the form for ordering only covers USA. Thanks for that, will see what they come back with.
 
What is to stop one of us from getting them for him and then putting them in the mail ourselves at a more realistic shipping rate? I do this often with ebay items that the sellers won't ship to Canada, or that they want 3 - 4 times what the actual shipping cost is. I get it sent to friends or family in NY, MO, or FL and then they put it in the mail themselves.

Just an idea.

Thank you for looking, these guys want $133 shipping, I dont know why they just cant use US Mail, I have managed to get a few parts from the U.S mostly Ebay, at really good rates, cheap as local rates here in fact! But these damn piston rings are just not happening.
I am waiting for Boulevard to get back to me with a rate, sohopefully that works out, thank you all very much for taking time for me.
 
Result! Boulevard came through with $25 shipping! also getting some other needed parts, thanks guys.:)
