parts missing that hold plastic in place

[Paintball_Midget]

Im 19 years old and recently bought my first motorcycle. I got an '07 GS500f with 8k miles for 2500. got the bike home and found out its missing a few round rubber pieces that hold the rear plastic pieces in place. where can i get replacement pieces so it's not making noise goin down the road?

Item #14 on this page?  http://fiche.ronayers.com/Index.cfm/Module/Main/TypeID/26/Type/Motorcycle/MakeID/2/Make/Suzuki/YearID/48/Year/2007/ModelID/7551/Model/GS500F/GroupID/357798/Group/FRAME_COVER_

Pretty cheap, shipping will probably cost more than the parts.  You might try a big-box hardware store, or the HELP section of an autoparts store.  Look through their grommets.

You have a great bike. I love my 2009 GS500F. Easy to ride and very smooth.

If you have a good Suzuki dealer near you, it might be worth having them give it a once-over to check all screws, bolts and be sure everything is tight and nothing missing. If you included your city in your profile, maybe someone could suggest a good dealer or shop to help you.

Ride safe!

I wouldn't pay shipping on just the grommets, or any small part not absolutley necessary to make the bike run. Go to a dealer and buy them. The price difference will be less than the shipping cost. For small parts, I make a list of stuff I need, and when I need to place an order online, I add those parts to the list. The weight and volume difference is so small, there's no change in shipping cost. If you really want to order them online, at least buy several oil filters to justify the shipping they charge.

What I did was go on ebay and buy a box of nuts and bolts off a gs500 part out. It cost me $20 shipped.

The one weird little nut that holds the tach and speedo $5. I paid $17 for two rubber grommets for the fairing and that bolt at a dealer!

Another way to go is bikebandit.com.  They charge $7.95 shipping no matter how big or small the order.  Order the grommets and the new jacket you need, new helmet shield, an extra clutch cable, oil filter, etc.  Always have extra filters and a clutch cable at the ready.  You'll be glad you did.
