Title: WANTED: Dampers for the gauges. Part number 34288-01D20
Post by: PatheticPuma on March 11, 2013, 05:20:23 AM
Hello, im looking for a set of dampers for my gauge cluster. The ones that sit between the clocks and the bracket. My gauges came without and my local dealership doesn't carry them/wont order them.

Anyone got a spare set they can part with?

tried the fleabay, with a few different search parameters. Just thought I'd see if any twinners wanted my money instead of a random internet company.

They are never any good as used parts.
I buy new ones from my dealer. I support my dealer so I will continue to have a dealer.
As a matter of habbit, I keep a few around always. When working on older bikes, it is nice to replace hard crusty stuff with soft new rubber.

If you have a local favorite dealer, buy there and show support. For something that small. $8-$15 postage to save a dollar doesn't make sense.

FYI: Old ones sometimes have to be scraped off! and there is no difference between the one for the speedo and the one for the tach. There's always a notch for a trip meter knob.

There is only one suzuki dealer local to me, they don't stock them and they "can't" order them according to the parts dept. Oh well, I will just order them online. Partzilla only charges $1.75 shipping for the pair.

They won't order a part for a 2009 GS500?
34288-01D20 (replaces 34288-01DA0)

We know same part 1989 to present. Not much of a dealer if they won't do that. $5.85 list price each.

FYI: We here on gstwins are smarter than most dealer when it comes to parts compatibility. if ever my dealer says they can't get a part, I tell them to look on the 2009 parts list. Sure some 89 parts are not around, but the 2009 part is a slightly updated same-thingy-part for most things.

:dunno_black: Didnt even think about asking for the newer year. I gave him the number shown on the 91 diagram. He just said its never been ordered, so they wouldn't. Already ordered from partzilla, :facepalm:  :mad:

Adidas, in an attempt to make this thread a total waste, you dont happen to have a spare starter cover do you? The bike I got from gsnoob500e, came without. Forgot to mention I needed one in the first post.

That black thing over the starter motor? Probably have a few. At least one from the motors I'm scrapping.

Out of curiosity, which local dealer are you going through?

Shawmut Hills, the only local dealer I could find.

If you're looking for parts in the GR area, I've found that using partspitstop.com is a great way to go. Parts Pit Stop is the online arm of Village Motorsports on Plainfield just north of 4 Mile Rd. Pricing is comparable to Partzilla, but shipping is $0.00 if you pick up at the parts counter in the store. I've ordered a few parts for my 2007 through them without any issues or complaints about never having ordered them before. If it's listed as available on their site, they'll order it.

BTW - their price for 34288-01D20 noted a few posts up is $4.80. (http://www.partspitstop.com/pages/ECommerce/ViewCart?returnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.partspitstop.com%2Fpages%2Foemparts%23%2Fs%2FSUZ%2F%2F34288-01D20 (http://www.partspitstop.com/pages/ECommerce/ViewCart?returnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.partspitstop.com%2Fpages%2Foemparts%23%2Fs%2FSUZ%2F%2F34288-01D20))

Fine print:

I am in no way employed or compensated by Village Motorsports. Just a satisfied customer.

I just ordered 2 of these for $10 total from Motorsport.com. Here's a link for a 2009 (I think that's what you have). They usually source parts from dealers or other sources, then ship to you within a few days of your initial order date.

Huh. For "not a Suzuki Dealer", they are certainly offering a lot of new Suzuki motorcycles for sale. And mayhaps they should remove the Suzuki logo from their sign out front.....

I have heard that they don't always hire the sharpest crayons in the box, if you know what I mean.

Village has a link for parts and they say they are the "only trusted & secure dealership online", which is a load of poop.
