    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

hello, I'm new to the gs forum. This is my first gs motorcycle and I'm wondering if there's a direct replacement for my stock wheels. I would like to have spoke wheels. My bike is chain drive. I'm looking for any information possible. thanks in advance.
 
I've been looking over the forum, trying to see if I can find any info. If I am not mistaken because my bike is not shaft driven I could swap with older model gs750s. I would have to use different rear hubs or spacers...or something. I am still trying to learn about this bike.
 
Ughhh I'm stuck with Spokes on my 750.

I liked them at first, until it's time for a tire change.
I just can't stand installing tubes....

But whenever Im out cruising at car shows, people always give me a Thumbs Up for rolling on old spokes, lol.

I guess they are getting harder to find on these old jap bikes?
