anyone have on of these they will sell?

[HobbyMan]

This came off of a 1980G.


This is what the whole assembly looks like.


I will buy the whole cap, fork, or whatever. If there isnt't any for sale, what can I do to replace the brass fitting. The previous owner destroyed the other fitting and I am in a bit of a time crunch. Thanks

I don't have one, but I do have a quick-fix suggestion. Couldn't you get a plug that threads into the tube cap and just bypass the air functionality entirely - you know, make it like a standard if you are in a serious time-crunch?

[Snow]

Also, Bikebandit shows these as being about $20 each - I believe ths is part 26 in the diagram if you look at the front fork diagram for 1980 XS1100SG

air fork fitting

go to suzuki dealer git one for a 1980 gs 1000 it is the same actualley the same forks also i just got them for mine 12.00

[HobbyMan]

I have good news. I checked the parts from yamaha and they are the 12m style. I did manage to find a suzuki at a salvage yard and bought the front forks from it. Finally after a month, I am back on the road. Thanks guys. AHH a sigh of relief

Hey, is this Phil that called me? You got the piece you were looking for?

[HobbyMan]

Actually this is his son, Andrew. And yes we got it after a month of searching and phone calls all over the country. Thanks again.

[CruisingRam]

No problem, always a good thing to recieve phone call from teh "lower 48" over bikes LOL- build up a little good will here and there, and when you really need a part- you can find it!

So, you are making that thing show perfect then? Total OEM correct restore? You got some pics of that thing?

[HobbyMan]

SO far everything is OEM perfect. If I find a good day to take some photos I will. The only thing not oem is the seat cover. Everything else is stock. I have a 79 spedo which I corrected the mileage to match, but I will probably put it on another 80G I might pick up to keep this one stock.

I've seen Andrew's bike. It is quite nice, and it has the original exhaust on it too. His Dad has a couple of nice 79 F's also.

I have a spare one learking in my garage somewhere but with the way things are, you'd have to come to Oregon and help me dig for it to have a chance of finding it.
