I recently bought a rain suit from the Dennis Kirk ebay site.  Nice doing business with them.  Highly recommened.  I have their catalog as well. They do not list to many items for the GS though.

The Dennis Kirk paper catalog is GREAT.  When I research tires I turn to their catalog for the most complete info about each model.

Unfortunately, their prices are usually higher than what I can find from Chaparral (and sometimes others).  On the other hand, they often carry different brands, and some items I haven't found anywhere else (like the Motion Pro valve spring compressor tool).

For examples of both points, see http://www.bbburma.net/Documents/GS500_Chains&Sprockets.txt

I did check both Chaparral and DennisKirk on the Maxxis Promaxx tires I ordered, and here's where Denniskirk beat them, with free shipping. Anything over $100 is free shipping. Chaparral was a few $ less, but the shipping more than made up for it. So, price + shipping comparisons are good. :thumb:

Good to know about the $100 free shipping threshold.  Does that apply across the board?  (I guess I could check my catalog for info....)
