    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. 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.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Looking for a single front rotor for my 78 1000 that is drilled. Anyone know of another model year that will pretty much bolt on ?? . Don't want to drill my stock rotor as i want to keep it in case i want to go back with the stock rotor. The rear is not an issue. Was going to go with dual rotors, but don't want the extra weight..
 
'80 GS1000E, Model ET The '80 E model came stock with drilled disks. Although there two disks. You can go to BassCliff's site, go to the service manual to page 15-23. There is a caution not to reverse the disks, but you only need the correct one, and I can't remember if it's right or left.

Nope,dual discs are smaller and cannot replace the single disc

There's been a lot of single discs on Ebay, buy one and drill it
 
I'm thinking i'm going to have to obtain a single and have it drilled. Most of the later models are dual disc. Was hoping for a cheaper alternative. The machine shops are proud of their shop time. Have already located a rear drilled disc of an 81 gs1000 to go on the rear
 
If you have a rotor just drill it. Buy a second one on ebay IF you want to change back to stock.

You can drill it yourself as long as you have a drill press. There are threads here about guys that have done it.
 
KOCHIC, you must have been posting the same time i was.. I saw that one for sale. Just wasn't sure. Thanks for the head up. That is what i'm looking for... Ed, i have tried to do it in the past. I don't have a good press, or the bits to do it. Those rotors are FREAKIN tough
