    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...

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.

1992 ZX7R forks on a 1981 GS1100E?

Hi Everyone,
I am brand new here and have wasted several hours looking though all of the sections.
The one thing I can't find is any info on swapping the front fork from a 1992 Kawasaki ZX7R onto my 1981 GS1100E.
I came across the ZX7R parts for very cheap (whole bike minus the motor for $400), so I couldn't pass it up.
Has anyone already done this conversion before?
I checked the All Balls conversion chart and the list every Kawasaki fork except for the ZX7R of course.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
And just so you know, I plan on converting the rear swingarm as well.
Thanks,
 
Not an issue anymore. Sold all the ZX7R parts. Now on the hunt for GSXR1100 front fork and front and rear wheels.
 
Be sure to check fork offset. Most newer forks have less offset which results in added trail when they are installed onto a GS, and more trail means slower steering.
