    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...

    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.

Ok, this is kinda long and drawn out but here goes. I recently purchased a 1980 GS550L. This bike has no title. However I have run a cross a pretty cheap frame that does have a title. This frame is from a GS650L 1982. This was a shaft drive model. In this state, the frame is what is licensed. So my question is, will my parts form the 1980 gs550L fit the frame from the GS650L, hence giving me a bike with a clear title? I'mpretty sure it will do it, but i want to be sure before going thru alot of work and headaches. Thanks alot in advance for any insight into this project.
:D joe
 
Why not apply for a title? Doesn't your state have a procedure for that? :?
 
I cannot get a new title because the person i got the bike form is overseas. in theis state , the last known owner must be the one to apply for a duplicate title. Otherwise i would not go to such extremes. :wink: This is the only way i will be bale o get a clean title so i can ride this bike. thanks again for any help.

The 550 Cannot be interchanged with the 650G SHAFT model IF you were determined to try anything It would be to cut the steering head with the ser #s off of the 650 and weld it to your 550 Requires verry presission work to get it aligned
 
If you can find a 650 chain frame the engine should fit it's bigger. Be aware cosmetic items, side covers, tank ??? are specific to "L" model.
I would wait & try and find another 550L frame with papers.
Use a Title Service?? reg it in another state??
