For parts, try bikebandit.com

For forums, try Vintage Japanese Motorcycles Owners Group  http://www.vjmog.com/forums.html

Couple of sharp guys over there on the Suzukis.

Good luck,

Kirk

I've got one, what do you need?
There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there are very few old, bold bikers.

I just got done ordering some carbs and cables.  There are some smaller items which would be nice like a left rear turn signal w/ bracket, the bolts for the headlight bucket, the pasenger side rear axle alignment peice w/ bolt, ignition switch and matching seat latch w/ key might be nice too.

I'll have to post a pic on Monday, the bike was garaged for the last 25 years and its def worth salvaging.  Thanks for the leads and offer on parts!
