Title: WTB: Parts - handlebars, petcock, harness parts, etc.
Post by: MB2 on February 16, 2011, 07:04:39 PM
I'm looking for a few things for my '91 GS500, figured I'd see if anyone on here has anything they want to get rid of for the right price. I'm trying to affordably rebuild my bike.

-Handlebars
-Rear fairings
-Fuel petcock valve
-The switch assemblies on the handlebar (cut-off switch/start, etc.)
-Some specific parts from the wiring harness...like the plug in for the front and rear turn signals, rear tail-light plug in, maybe more depending on your harness (I plan to splice the wires to different lights, but want to plug them in to the harness rather that splice off the harness)
-Front disc rotor
-Rear brake grip (rubber part that goes on the lever)
-Rear brake light switch
-Brake pads front and rear

I'm sure I could come up with more things, but it all depends. PM me if you have anything that I might be able to use and we'll go from there.

Wow! You beat me to it. I guess I'm not the only parts hoarder around here.

Last thing I need for my project is the front brake master cylinder/reservoir...as the top screws for mine are seized. :(

I'm looking for something cheap, fast. Please PM me if you think you can help me.

Left phone message. You can have Trey's as I have another one for Trey. It has just a slight road rash on the cap which can be painted over. I wanted a clean one for Trey. I'll be sure the screws are all OK and you can stop over and take it off Trey. They should be OK as he has been serviced before I bought him last month.

The lid comes off OK. If you want to come over and take 5 minutes to help swap them, you can have the one on Trey. It just has a scrape on the lid which would be easy to paint over.

Just got back from a trip, sorry for not replying to you Patrick. If you're master cylinder/reservoir are in working order and that cap comes off, I'd love to grab it - even if it has rash. I'll try giving you a shout tomorrow...helping swap it for you shouldn't be a problem.

Well, screws come off of cap. It is working on Trey and he does come to a stop, so.... does that mean it works?
You can see the spot if you look close...

Good seeing you. Thanks for helping change Trey's and you got his. Nice when everyone comes out ahead and doesn't cost anything.
