Hey all,

Can someone point me to a supplier for early Suzuki parts that ISN'T Paul Miller?

Im so sick of sending emails to him only to get a reply days later along the lines of..."ohhh...what did you want" etc etc... :evil:

He's got the goods for decent prices but obviously isnt interested in selling any of it or keeping his customers.

Thanks,
Ash

Sorry about your luck with Paul, ive heard the same thing from a lot of people (luckily not me). Try knk cycles out of Mass. Ken is a nice guy to deal with. Oops, just read some previous posts by a few members who dont think hes nice at all. Motor City powersports is another good source. Ive also ordered from old bike barn for aftermarket parts. Parts n more is another source although I dont personally have experience with them.

Ash: Define "early" and "parts".
There are quite a few reputable folks in the UK who might be able to help you out. Early Suzis are big business over there.....moreso than in the US.
In fact, PM has a guy bird-dogging for him over there now because his rep on this side of the pond is in the flusher.

It depends what you are actually looking for of course. I've bought from a few folks in Europe, and there are a few others in addition to the ones already mentioned here in North America - I recently bought some NOS bits from an outfit called Flying Squirrelin Toronto for example - fast service, and no issues with my order. And just for info - the one time I bought from PM the price was OK and delivery was fast, but I notice he ( and many others) is often selling things at a premium that are still available directly from Suzuki

In Europe, I've bought from Erik in The Netherlands. Another NL supplier I've talked to, but not yet bought from is here. Crooks in the UK often has things, and Reiner in Germany also seems to have a lot of GT750 specific items. I've listed a few on my web site here and other reference pages are here and here.

Happy hunting !

I've never had a significant problem with Paul. I HAVE had significant problems with Ken. Other's experiences may be different.

Calling Paul is better than emailing him.

I wouldn't deal with Ken unless I was in dire need with no alternatives. I had a very bad experience with him. I haven't had a problem with PM so far.
