Title: Going Back to Japan (oh! for vacation...)
Post by: MstrsLilBrat on December 17, 2004, 12:24:43 PM
Hey, how are you doing, GS family?

I will go back to Japan for visiting my family next week.  ;) Of course, I will go buncha motorcycle shops over there. I don't think GS isn't a popular bike in Japan (everywhere? lol), so I don't know what I can buy for GS.  :oops:


Here is the question for you guys.
If you go to Japan, what would you buy for your GS?

some, death ciggs and some ashai, and some good sake. :)   I don't think your going to find much over there as far as aftermarket parts.  you might be able to find some cheep stock parts, like rear plastics, or ignition advancers.

Hehehe... I was thinking to get any 400cc bike (I actually looked for ZRX 400 and Ducati when I went back home last time.) and bring it back here before... But now I am thinking a 50cc bike to bring here.




But since my parents don't know I am riding a bike again, it is very hard to buy another bike!

Have a good vacation!

I would look for handguards and a small windshield to replace my 18 year old NationalCycle N2590.

But, since we're looking for Japanese market aftermarket parts for the GS, I would look for Suzuki factory fairings, aftermarket fairings, aftermarket turnsignals, taillights, chainguards, seat cowls, instruments, mirrors, carburetors, airfilters, exhaust pipes, maybe upside-down forks for the GS, swingarm, rims, forkguards, fender-eliminator kits.

Quote from: davipulook for cheep valve shims!!

In the hard to find factory sizes!

Like: 262, 258, 272, 268.

I'll buy those four from ya! Make that 5, I'd like a second 262.

Very good idea Davipu!

Edit: and maybe a 252, if they make one.

If I remember right there is a 268 in my valve adjustment kit.  Unless someone has used it....

Go to the oppai pub and take some pics for me.  I bought alot of stickers when I went there.  There was this really sweet helmet but I lacked the 50,000 yen to pay for it.
