I bought a set from him for my '92 late last year.  They worked perfect.

Could be... A bit more than $5...  But, if you remember I work at a Suzuki dealer and I give GS Twin members discounts of 10-20% or more  :thumb:

Thank you so much for all of your help guys.

I went to a dealer in another city looking for help.  None of the locals wanted to supply me with a key blank... And that it was pretty much unheard of to get a blank motorcycle key, like I was going to steal a bike with it or something.

anyway I drive the 20 some odd miles to the next town. They didnt have the right key, but offered to order the correct one for me for $9. Great, I thought.  A week later I go to pick them up (2), and the guy wants $15 each. I got mad and told him what I was quoted before hand, and then he said he could do $13 a piece. I asked what the problem was, couldn't get anywhere, so I thanked him for his time and started to leave.  He yelled across the room that he could easily sell them to someone else.  I walked half way back and told him he didnt have to act like a jerk, and proceeded to leave again.  As I started opening the door to leave, he yells across the entire store that I didnt have to act like an ASS!

Wow. All that over a key.  Calling around I found one more place willing to sell me one for $20.  I was pretty frustrated...

Anyway, Scott, I'll definitally be getting in touch with you!

Just an FYI for people looking for good parts diagrams; I just looked on the cernics.com website and they are MUCH clearer than the scribbles that BikeBandit has.

Thank you!  :icon_mrgreen: By the end of this month it will be much easier to buy on www.cernics.com also. We will be categorizing the entire site to make finding those after market items much easier  :thumb:

And remember guys, email or call me for a better price than whats shown online.
