There are quite a few parts places:
partsunlimited
cheapcycleparts
bikebandit
ebay

and don't forget your local dealer.

Got the same gasket set for $89 off ebay that partsandmore has for $110.

Most often on-line places say "in stock" which just means they can order them. NOT that the part is on their shelf ready to ship. Been through that many times and am tired of it unless it is for spare parts (something I do not need tomorrow).

I often buy at my local dealer. They insure the parts are right. Even though I may pay the same or a little more - there is no shipping charge. Many parts are stock items. Plus, being a customer, the parts department and service department are free sources of information. They can look at my bike and tell me what to do at no charge. One of the advantages of supporting your local dealer. (I know all dealers are not like this. Mine even has free fresh popped popcorn! (http://cdn.pnwriders.com/images/smilies/popcorn.gif) )

Don't forget the parts whores here on the board. Lots of stuff available - unfortunately most parts whores are less active at selling due to too many "I'll pay you Thursday after I get paid" and they never pay. Too much time wasted looking for parts, packing them, then the buyer flakes out.

I've used partsnmore for carb kits more than a few times....always fairly quick and  the right parts so far.

Never bought a filter from them.

is this a "made in china" kinda site or is it "made in japan" kinda site? I actually like this site, tho they sell a lot for the 89-00 models.. not the later ones.

There are very few differences in year models. (Hint)

Mawonline
Motorcyclesuperstore
Gstwins marketplace
Bikebandit
Ebay
Amazon

With all of those there is not a part on the gs you cannot get.
