    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...

  • 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.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • 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 was just scanning Ebay one day and stumbled across this guy. The carb bolts set is $4 plus shipping

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Suzuki-carb...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item35a3e563e0

I ordered two sets and they arrived (from WI) in a few days. Alas, I found that the fiche he had relied on was wrong and the top cap bolts need to be 12mm long, not 16mm as shown in the fiche and as shipped.

I emailed him and sent him some photos and he sent me the 12mm lengths I needed for free and changed his kit.

Now that gets a big thumbs up for good price, good quality and customer service!

He's got kits for 8V motors also.

They are good kits.Got them for my 78 1000 engine;

And the VM carb set:

Yeah the 16mm stick out a bit on the top covers but I'm not that fussed.Very happy with them,about 1/4 the price I could get them for locally even with extra $$ for shipping to Canada.

Yeah, the 16 mm are too long, the 12 mm (rear) looks better

The newer kits should have the shorter bolts

You guys get on Ebay and buy some sets as he didn't make any money off me this time. Mailing me the (24) 12mm bolts cut into his profit margin, I'm sure

I'll order some more when I'm after the holidays

You know, I bought a complete set of case bolts, and the only bolts I used out of the kit were the header bolts. Someday I guess I'll put them on there.
