help

Hi,
My name is Nick, and I'm a lurker,

so thats that off my chest.

I thought i'd phone Fowlers, Bristol for help, them being a reasonably local
main dealer,
should have known better I spose

can you help me please
I have got a GS 1000 but because it is semi customed I dunno what model it
is and I need some bits,

Ok its a yank import
Registered here 1980 on a V plate
it has got one of those clutch in for ignition switches
permanent lights
left hand handlebar switch does main/dip and indicators and horn
right hand does kill/run and start

yes I do have the frame and engine numbers
Does anybody know of a site/Dealer/Individual that could help me

many thanx in anticipation
nick

Welcome Nick.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

Try here http://www.thegsresources.com/

 

Well, if you gave Fowlers the minimal info you gave here, no wonder they
couldn't help.

What bits do you need??????

The GS Thou was a popular bike and there aren't too many differences
between US and UK models.

Not even me at this time of day.

No you are not. You may have been in the past but you ain't now. Now
you are officially a ukrmer. Let's get it right shall we.

the merkins ride on the right though don't they? Wouldn't one of their
GS's need the camber bearings changing? Or weren't they fitted to that
model?

 

First port of call is the Suzuki owners club. That is assuming it is
indeed a Suzuki.
Anyways, top bunch of folk. Give them a try. If you need a fair few
parts, it is worth joining the owners club for the discounts some places
will offer.

Try their forum as well. Scan Yahoo groups for a group related to your bike.

HTH etc

 

Heh Not been there for years ... I am ID 281.

 

www.thegsresources.com is the site of choice for ShiteOldGSSuzukis.

 

Well I've had it all my life
and there's more

are you the Cane from The Kings Army and the C15 mob?

That will have confused a lit of people

Oh, dear me, no. Call yourself a lurker? You really haven't been
paying attention, have you? Don't do it again, there's a good lad. If
you have to ask to what I refer, then you will deserve the response it
garners.
