    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • 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.

I'm considering my options and am seriously considering parting out my '81 GS750E. What I need to know is approximately what the parts are worth. The complete list of available parts is located in this thread (to save some typing):

http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=102063

There are some people interested in a few parts but I have no idea what they are worth to quote them a price. I thought I'd offer the parts to GS members as you guys have been so helpful. I'm not wanting to "rip them a new one", just a fair price for the parts as described. Any help will be appreciated as this will help determine whether or not I part it out.
 
The general rule is good used parts go for half of retail on NOS.

Na, you won't get that much since most of the stock Suzuki part are crazy expensive and there are lots of bikes being parted out via ebay and such. And speaking of pricing, check ebay's completed auctions for a general guideline on what the parts are worth.
 
Yeah, wreckers and whatnot will sometimes use that 'half of retail' as a rule, and it is common, but in this day of ebay it's not really realistic. You'll have to check ebay for parts prices.

A tip, clean and/or polish the parts really nice before you throw 'em on ebay, and they'll stand out from the clutter.
 
Well, the parts will be clean when I send them, some have already been "restored." But parts for a GS750E are fairly rare and I don't seem to be finding many on Ebay. Plus, I'd rather give the people here first shot at them. I'm just looking for ballpark figures.
