re:Fish - I went to the HEL website and they didn't have 2001 listed, just like you said. For some reason, a bunch of people and sites think Suzuki stopped making this bike from around 99-03. As we know, they sure as heck didn't!
Anyway, I emailed HEL and asked if the part for the '87 - '98 LS650 would work for a 2001, they replied saying they believed it would, so I ordered the HBF7408 and installed it yesterday. Installed fine, but, obviously, won't be able to test for real until I can get the bike running. Fit well, had the rubber parts for the frame clip things, screwed together right, was the right length, not leaking... all systems go.
They have lots of colors available, which is pretty cool. I expect the brakes to be MUCH better (new pads, new stainless line, new fluid).
UPDATE: fuel wasn't leaking last night. Left it in RES all night and wasn't leaking in the morning. Came home from work around 5pm and gas was leaking again. Before I turned off the petcock, I already had the airbox open and the air filter out. There was a slow waterfall of gas overflowing from the air intake down the front (inner) wall of the airbox and out of the airbox vent, onto the concrete floor.
I don't need to do the clear PVC tube level check... I think this pretty much tells me what I need to know. I have some clear PVC but it was actually too large to fit the carb drain line or I would have done this yesterday - this IS a good idea, just didn't have the stuff to do it.
Like I said earlier, the carb rebuild kit has been ordered.
