So my gs project is getting close to being done, but upon replacing my rear sprocket I have found that the idiots who had the bike before me (once again) used the wrong wrenches. Apparently these guys either only owned American tools or by the looks of some these things only owned crescent wrenches.
Anyways, the sprocket nuts are junk, and I need new. I have called around for generic 10x1.25mm flanged nuts and have yet to find anywhere that has them. The only place I have found them thus far has been on the microfiche's (ron ayers, etc.) but I'd rather not spend $1.50+ per nut plus shipping because it seems that I would then be spending 10-15 bucks for a handful of nuts. Any suggestions? Any bulk nuts site that I havent been able to uncover via google?
Thanks
Hey there,
I found a great place to buy stainless steel fasteners for my GS500.
Go to:
http://www.westcoastmc.com/store/
I found this guy on ebay when I was looking recently for stainless steel allen head bolts for my bike.
He sells whole kits or individual fasteners.
His phone number and contact info are on his site -- 604 637-7854. He's in Washington state.
I bought a set of stainless allen head bolts for my engine and a separate set for the carbs.
All nice quality and cheap!
Less than $25 for all including shipping.
Highly recommended.
Yours,
Todd
fyi...those are flanged lock nuts that hold the sprocket on, not just a regular flanged nut.
Ooo...I was actually not aware that they were lock nuts, either the nuts were too damaged for me to notice or I just didn't pay sharp enough attention. Thanks.
And that site did have a lot of useful fasteners (I may be buying some others from him) but I could not turn up these nuts there either.
So far it's looking like my best option is going to be one of the microfiches.
