Just checked and see that Z1 are about 15 - 20% cheaper on parts and shipping

Psy and I have used them pretty regularly and find them helpful and fast at dispatching the goods (sometimes they have to wait on their suppliers if they have to order parts in)

A good supplier who just happens to be a GSR member. Prompt delivery at a great price. You do need to be able to positively identify the o rings you need though.

I was only winding Psguy up about his switch. I won't be laying a finger on Bruno!!

i wasnt aware of what you're after, but if it is the rubber rings for carbs then abosolutely go with cycleorings - as said, a gsr member, both croc and i have used his stuff and while the sizes are not IDENTICAL to oem they work absolutely fine, and much much cheaper

Need a GS1000 motor (chain drive)? Has been bored to 1100, the pistons are hi comp MTCs, some have minor seizure scuffs and would need new rings. Honda Civic Shuttle 1500 rings will fit with minor oil groove widening. Also an assortment of 1000L bits (the donor crashed into then back of a car, so no frame, forks, tank, instruments or exhaust)
