Hi,What a great site,my first day as a new member!
I am in the process of restoring a 1982 GS1100G,and do not have the s-arm taper bearings,is there a cheap allternative to the originals,as these are quite a few pounds.Any help,info,(addresses in uk) would be great.
Thanks for reading. Chop

If you want to go to the breakers All of the 850/1000/1100 use the same brg further id as RT 17X40X15

Thanks for your prompt help.Got the swinging arm bearings(new ?17)
All is well with s-arm.Something else you may be able to help with---
Am i right in thinking that the spacing between the exhaust ports is the same on the gs850,1000,1100 ? Also what the best way to unsieze brake caliper pistons?mine are well solid.

The bike comin on fine now.Bought it in large lumps!with lots of rusty parts. I have the rolling chassis together,with engine in.(not to bad,seeing that I have owned it just over a week now)

Thanks again for your help,all the best, Chop

If they are frozen bad you may have to replace them, Take the two 1/2s appart spray the piston with PB Blaster? -Penatrating oil?? let it soak. If you get them to move?? Try a blast of air into the hose connection to force the piston out. be carefull it can pop out with a lot of force. Install new seals
