Title: Looking for a part
Post by: mimikeni on January 27, 2015, 02:12:45 PM
Hello All,
When I wiped out last weekend, I scraped off the circular Suzuki emblem from the left side of the engine case.  Does anyone know where a guy might find a replacement?  I have a 1996 GS500 E and the engine is black.
Thanks.

I've certainly bought a few of these in the past myself  :icon_rolleyes:  I got mine off motosport.com, $13.66, #13 in this link:

I did a quick search on eBay and found this one too for $15.29 + $2.32 for shipping:

It may be cheaper getting it on eBay because Idk how much motosport would charge to ship (even though it's such a little thing)... we all know about unreal shipping charges sometimes!!!  :bs:

If anybody has a cheaper place they know of I am sure they will chime in  :thumb:

Thanks ShowBizWolf.  I wasn't sure what to call it and I couldn't find it in my service manual.
