This forum is to be used by folks who sell parts or services for GS series motorcycles regularly, or as a business.
If you are interested in providing parts and/or service to GSResource members it is expected that you will 1) keep customers informed on the status of their order, 2) you will reply to customer emails and PM's in a timely manner, 3) you provide what is agreed to in a timely manner. If personal circumstances prevent you from doing this, then you are expected to inform the customer before any transaction takes place. Failure to follow these basic business rules will force me to ban your forum account and list you in the Deadbeat forum.

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.
Are they even that clean when they come from the factory??? Damn!

don't think so, but i have never seen a brand new set ... those are gorgeous
The hardware is zinc plated with a yellow chromate dip, which creates the "brass" look.
The pilot fuel screws are aftermarket. The tips on two of the originals were jammed in the carb bodies. The extra section on the end is, I assume, for a plastic cap that Kawasaki used. The cap is a good idea and limits how far people can turn the screw. 1/2 turn on those screws makes a drastic difference and the caps limited travel to about that much.
I'll give a special GSR discount on those carbs if anyone wants them!
Honestly, they are one of the better sets I've restored. I do a lot of Kawasaki VM26's and they sell pretty fast at that same price point. The Suzuki carbs don't move nearly as quickly.
