Hi!

I've bought a few carb-sets from the this vendor.

Nice sets. Good quality No problems.

I bought a stainless engine screw and bolt set from STAINLESS CYCLE. They have a store on eBay and a website at WWW.STAINLESSCYCLE.COM. They are moving their entire operation to another state, but they still got the GL1000 set to me in a day or two over two weeks.

Cost was right at $60 and the quality is very good.

I recommend them and will buy from them again.

I've been piece mealing mine from the local fastener outfit about $5-$10 at a time. that usually gives a good handful of steel to play with for an hour or so... fighting the old ones out and anti-seizing the new ones.
but then I'm doing two bikes, too. it'll prolly cost more in the long run but this is how it's gotta be fer now.

Just bought the two kits from this supplier.

Excellent stuff.
All the hard work done for you with the parts neatly bagged in separate lots so you can't make a mistake as to what goes where and a website that shows the location of each and every screw.

This is way things should be done!

Not the cheapest way of doing things but I am totally happy to pay that bit extra for this kind of service.

Edit:- Just realised this is the same supplier as used by Octane.

It's a good idea to run a bottoming tap into the threads in aluminum. This will remove any corrosion and old anti-seize. You won't be cutting any new threads, just removing the crud. Blow out the threads after using the tap.

Bottoming taps are hard to find and expensive if you do find them. I bought a cheap set from Harbor Freight and ground off the tapered part on the end of the taps to make a crude, but effective, bottoming tap.

Kaopectate makes a good high temperature anti-seize. The kaolin clay is the anti-seize and the pectin helps to hold the kaolin in place until it dries.
