    Back on a bike - 79 Suzuki GS550E

    And new to this fantastic site. It's a truly brilliant resource.

    Are the any other late seventies / early eighties GS riders in Wellington?

    I'm keen to meet and learn a bit more about them.

    Mines a bit of a rideable work in progress but already love it!

    Cheers,

    www.suziparts.com.au for NOS parts. I've bought stuff (rings, gasket sets) from them for my GS1100GK. At the same time I enquired about other parts such as exhausts and they were able to supply the whole lot (4 headers and two mufflers, brand new) - a bit expensive but if you want new, they can do it
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Maybe not quite the place, but this is a new site dedicated to mods for old beasts.
