Can You Help Out a Fellow Valk Traveler?

[x]

I got the email below.  I've recommended HDL but would appreciate if you all could offer some choices for this gentleman.  I've contacted him; he'll probably be looking at this board.

Many thanks.

Pinwall should have most of what he is looking for.

The head of an interstate? The fairing? If so, why the new gauge cluster?

On another note... Wayne, if you get bored, run over to Just top and swindle a new light bar (JS-192-E)  for my trailer out of them.  Taipei is too far for me to ride.

I second the suggestion to check with Pinwall: http://pinwallcycle.com/
They deal in all kinds of used cycle parts at much better prices than buying new.
They also do business on Ebay.
No afilliation, etc.

The above replies do answer his question. If there was not such a language problem, then I'm sure the true answer would have been, why do you need new heads? I think this was mentioned recently, no one has really discussed about any break down of a GL1500 engine. Why would you need a head?

If it is the fairing, the head of the bike, which goes along with the instruments, maybe they are broken (accident) and need replacing. There also is 2 different instruments, the IS digital display, the other ones for the std and tourer.

Either one, Pinwall is good.

Also, maybe an addition of a written langauge, that someone maybe able to reply in. I have friends and neighbours who may be able to do Mandarin for me, for translation.

gordonv;
I am not 100% certain... I think that Mandarin would not get you too far in Thailand. SEE LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_language

[gordonv]

No, but I thought it might be a common language for the region.

I know the Phillipines are starting to know more Jappanese now.

Do you think it would help him, if someone sent him one of those "Parts" diagrams so he could actually point out exactly what he wants??  He could amybe print it out THEN phone Pinwall and/or e-mail it to them.  Wha' cha' think?
