If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Rear wheel swap

    Not sure about 550's but I ran the 18" spoked rear wheel off my "78" GS1000 on both my "79" GS1000S ( 18" cast wheel) and my "83" GS1100E (17" cast wheel)... One of the spacers that go against the brake caliper holder, thinking inside one, had to be used with the "wheel" it was designed for...

    Landmark moment in music!

    Well, so much talk I finally punched it up and watched and listened... Not much to say but pretty good musicians... Not at all impressed with anything else I heard or saw but my opinion they seemed to be pretty good musicians,

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Well, we've got collector and antique plates, but don't think we have any plates you can use on different vehicles... Does seem like a good idea.

    Old riding buddy gave me this.

    Not matter what bike is used for, the cast wheel needs the spacer for the cast wheel... A thought that don't matter, your picture looks waaay too good to be butchered, You can make a bobber out of anything you find in any an old shed, fence row, or leaning against a tree out back. Just say'in...

    Old timers trick for stuck bolts

    Like he said, "hard to believe", but who knows?? First demo I saw of WD-40, bottle cap with WD-40 in it, hold a rusty bolt vertical and touch the bottom tip in the cap, and the liquid WD would run up the rusty threads just a gitt'in it... That too was "hard to believe"

    Pod Filters?

    From what I've seen, and read, either will work. BUT the pods will take quite a bit more tinkering to get the jetting right. Also the difference in the Cheepo pods and quality pods also makes a pretty big difference.

    Old riding buddy gave me this.

    And we thought Christmas was over 3 months ago, gues we were wrong... I started to answer your other post, but wasn't sure about the GS550's. the L wheel is a cast, your bike has a spoke. Just say'in on GS1000's & GS1100's to swap a rear spoke wheel to a rear cast wheel, one of the spacers...
