The young man who is purchasing my bike does not do his own maintenance! I know, crazy, right?
Since he does not want these parts, maybe someone on the board can use them:
(http://beergarage.com/imgs/temp/01.JPG)
Sunstar rear sprocket, 39 teeth, $25 (ebay $40)
steel front sprocket, 16 teeth, slightly used, $5 (ebay $20)
Wix oil filter, $3 (ebay $6)
mirrors, $5 (ebay $22)
One has a bolt that is difficult to turn. Both look good and glass is perfect.
fuel petcock, $12 (ebay $35)
One new fork oil seal, $2 (ebay $9 / pair)
or $40 for everything that's left.
Plus shipping cost, or pickup in Santa Rosa, CA.
Listed ebay prices do not include shipping either.
Cheers

god bless guys that don't do their service. I have put in smallest shim in my bike. 2.15mm Is there a possibility thinner bucket that you mention might help. If so I need one, thinnest you have. Im in sf. might come by this week.
I may have sold the buckets. If he does not buy them today I will give you the thinnest one free. But don't let the valve fall through the head!
as long as there is a gap it is gooood ;)
Lots of people are asking for the shipping estimate, but nothing is actually sold yet. All this can still be yours.
I'll pay for thin bucket, I'm free tomorrow.
You are driving all the way up from the city? Man, I can't charge you for one bucket. OK, how about $5 for one bucket, but you get one of these other fine items absolutely free!
steel front sprocket
wix oil filter
repair manual
mirrors
Katana rear spring
fork oil seal
I would happily charge you $25 for one bucket, and throw in all that stuff free. Just putting that out there. Don't answer now, just think about it.
OK, PM me your phone number and I'll give you directions.
Cheers.
I like to drive :dunno_black:
I am desperate about that valve. It is at 0.08mm now, but it was unmeasureably tight for at least 1500miles since I got the bike. It is closing that gap with every mile i do on the bike. I can feel it :icon_lol: I was thinking of grinding the shim... but thinner bucket :icon_exclaim: :icon_idea: :woohoo: :icon_idea: :icon_idea: :icon_idea: :woohoo:
definitely worth a shot.
My plan to drive this thing for at least next 17000003.5 miles feels possible now. All I need is 0.05mm to keep that valve loose and cool.
lets say I come by and we'll see.
I wonder about that kat spring. does it fit stock shock?...I wonder...
I put a katana shock on mine, It was an exact fit, The one I got had the resevior that we had to mount somewhere but it was very easy to install
I think he is talking about putting the Katana spring onto the GS shock. Like this:

What is the advantage of only switching springs vs. the whole shock? It certainly be easier/faster to do the whole shock. Is it stiffer this way? Advantageous to remain stock height?
- Bboy
yes. kat spring on stock shock. I planned a katana shock, but Why not just change a spring. it will be stiffer, still bouncy but better.
I have 0.9 springs up front. just set the sag today. I can feel the rear is not up to the job, but it is not that bad. stock front was bad.
After all I did (springs, lunchbox, rejet, 15/39 sprockets) i have no desire to invest. Only fuel, oil, rubber and miles.
I love the thing, I'm having loads of fun, but it is only a gs.
so that's my thinkin'...
cheers.
The only advantage I can see, is the Katana shock I bought was leaking and worthless, so I took the spring off, and was going to put it onto the stock shock absorber, which I know is good.
You can buy a leaking shock for less than a nice working one. Or the ebay seller can not know the difference and sell you a bum shock for the price of a good one. I think he refunded everything but shipping, though, so fine.
You get my pm?
Got your PM. The other person still has not paid for the shims. If he does not buy them, you have dibs.
Windscren and Katana spring are sold, all the rest is still available.

Please put me in line for the valve adjustment set with shims and buckets; I'm kind of starting over from scratch here... I am aware that you've got potential deals with others.
Are you going to help the new owner keep his GS healthy? I sure as h3ll wouldn't pass up the opportunity to improve my skills and increase my knowledge at the beergarage, so I can't imagine that he'd turn down an offer from you.
I know you're "just up the road" from here, but as much as I'd like to actually SEE the famous /infamous /notorious beergarage, and maybe spin some wrenches there, I'm NOT driving 500 miles to do it.
Not trying to line-jump anyone, I just want a shot at some of this stuff.
GSnoober
One person is ahead of you for the shims. His PM beat your post by 2 hrs. You are not line jumping anything. Call dibs on whatever you want. If this person decides he does not want them, they are yours. $35 shipped.
The new owner of my GS does not want to get his hands dirty. He will take it to a mechanic. If he can change the oil and oil the chain, he shouldn't have to take it to a mechanic for a couple years, because she purred when I last rode her.

tnx for the buckets senor beer, they will be used for good... peace is restored in the galaxy now... :cheers:
Thanks to everyone who has bought this stuff. I hope it serves you well, even if it doesn't restore peace in your galaxy.
Cheers
