GS1000E Parts
« on: March 29, 2017, 06:44:36 PM »
Sorry not Honda. Does anybody know of a parts supplier for Suzuki GS1000E that's the equivalent of David Silvers. We appear to be very well catered for in the Honda community, much harder to find Suzuki parts that are actually in stock. Cheers.

I think Suzuki have scheme whereby they manufacture parts for historic models. Crooks Suzuki might be a first port of call?

Suzuki do a scheme to cover some models but the prices are sky high, and they only really do the basics. Whereas Silver's will do OEM parts where factory originals are not available. Could do with finding that type of site.

It could be the autojumble route then Roy. At least Stafford is coming up (if you can handle the parking, crowds and prices!).

Thought about that but were not doing the Stafford car boot sale this year. Last year all we bought was some shoe laces and a long mop for cleaning your windows. LOL. Were going watching classic racing instead this year. Think I may just sell the Suzuki.

Just finished a GSX1100EZ restoration and on with a GS1000S and you're right there's no single source like DSS. I've used Fowlers for UK stock and MSP in Holland who were a lot cheaper but sterling change has affected that a bit.
Are you after specific bits?
For technical help (and emotional support when needed) the GSresources website and linked sites are really good
Cheers,
Andy

Cheers Andy. MSP only do bikes back to 1985 and Fowlers never appear to have anything in stock. Had to use CMS in Holland, very good stock levels but pricey and the postage can be a killer.

Roy,
MSP do earlier ones but I think the fiche search bit doesn't show them - bit odd.
The GSX I just finished is 1983 and I've got quite a few bits for this and the 1979 GS1000S from MSP.
If you have part numbers try putting those in - the only thing I found was that they often only work on the 'current' part number where it's been revised - I found using CMSNL good for showing the old and current part number then using this to search MSP.
Bit of a faff I know but I found quite big savings and some parts available that way which I couldn't get in the UK.
Shame there isn't a simple single site that's good but I guess that's all part of the challenge.
If you're doing the carbs, definitely check the GSresources site as they have great tutorials for this as well as links to a US guy for 'O' rings at good price and quickly sent.
Cheers,
Andy
