    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.

6 inch rim

Hi,
Second post and I'm already after information.
I have a Katana 750s2 that I am uprating its in a hundred bits at the moment but I have lined up an 1100 motor for it and some forks from a GSXR 750 k5.
Also a 1200 bandit arm but want to stay twin shock.
Yesterday I got these only trouble is the rear is a 6 inch rim so my question is has anyone else fitted a rim of this size to their GS and if so what did you have to do to make it work.

You will need an offset front sprocket, 520 drivechain and sprockets, frame relief in the chain path, it will be a bit of a headache but is doable.
Best bet however is to try to find a 17"x5.5" rim as it fits much easier.

A 5.5 would have made life easier, However these fell into my lap and Dymags are mega expensive so I am determined to make them fit.
The bike is all in bits and the frame is due to have some bracing work so the frame relieving is not such an issue.
Guess I just have to go for it.
Once the rear wheel is central what size offset front sprocket do you think I'll need?
 
I have a 6" Busa wheel on my GS > Im using a 630 chain with a 3/8" offset sprocket and a 1/8' washer = 1/2" offset
 
Hi Larry,

May I ask what swingarm you are now using? And How long the arm is?
