    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    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 folks

I'm finding it hard to locate UK based parts dealers.
If any UK members out there would like to share, then this thread could be a good place to list shops/websites you've been happy with.

Many Thanks
Assaf
 
Thanks Hampshire.
If anyone would like to add more dealers then that would be great.

Hampshire, I found those three already yesterday, but Robinsons don't have GS850 1983 parts and the link to 'classic parts' in Crooks doesn't work.

Wemoto has parts, but at the moment I'm seeking Calliper OEM rubber parts, and OEM full gasket sets and Wemoto's are aftermarket (or so it looks).

Do you have any UK sources for OEM calliper parts and Engine Gasket sets?

Many thanks
Assaf

I would look in a Classis motorcycle Mechanics magazine or practical sportbike. They are UK mags and have tons of ads for parts.:)
 
Yes thanks, I know the parts numbers.
I've had good service from CMSNL in the past, but they're pretty pricey.

I don't actually live in the UK, but my parents do and I sometimes visit, so that's why I'm asking these questions. And anyway, I just thought it would be a good idea to get the UK dealers onto a single thread for future reference.

So thanks very much,
keep the references coming.


I've sent Crooks an email to see if they have the OEM parts I need.
 
If you let me know the numbers, I may be able to help. I've never owned an 850, but I have some unused Suzuki spares that may be applicable to your bike.
 
You will get everything you need from Robinsons, send them an email or ring them they have a huge stock of stuff plus they're connected Europe wide and of course direct to Japan. They are certainly the second biggest spares supplier in UK if not the first after Suzuki GB.
All engine/brake stuff is off the shelf.
When it comes to sending stuff far away why bother with pattern parts that might fail? The cost of the part is insignificant compared to time and transport.

Just received a few things from this group. I'm in Australia and postage from America is always a killer. I only ordered a few grommets and bearings but they turned up quickly and the correspondence for the order was good too. Happily recommend them.
 
Ordered a bunch of stuff from wemoto on tuesday morning and it arrived thursday morning. Mostly pattern but the clutch cable ?12 looks good, and the starter clutch rebuild kit for ?30 is reasonable. Watch this space.
Importer here wanted ?40 for an oem cable and had no stock and would take a week to get one to Dublin.
