    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 some technical advice. I'm about to convert my 1982 GS 650E to caf? racer trim. I want to fit wire spoked wheels to give the right retro look. What wheels do I need to get to safely make the conversion , stlll keeping twin brake discs on the front wheel and single disc on the rear wheel.
Any advice welcome as my knowledge of parts interchangeabilityis limited. Thanks.
 
Earlier 750 or 1000 wheels should work. The "E" versions of both bikes had cast wheels similar to yours. The "standard" versions might have had single disks on the front, but the holes are there to mount the second one.

I believe it is 77 to 79 gs750 and gs1000 wheels. You probably have to go for gs1000 rear to get the one with spokes and disc. I sourced one of these a couple of years ago, and it was a lot of searching on the net because they are rare.

750's are disc rear. Be prepared to pay good dollar for a hub these days. And unless someone is selling one as stated above there rare
