    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.

I have replaced the front end of my 80' 1100ET with one from an 85 1150.
I am trying to decide whether or not to keep the square 80' headlight and original cluster. What have some of you done to mount the square headlamp housing to the front end? If I dont keep the headlight and cluster, I was thinking of getting a dual round headlight and TrailTech Vapor display. Whatcha think?

I have not see what you incompatability is but I have been adapting GE1100EZ/ED headlamps to 41 and 50/52mm GSXR forks and guage clusters to 41mm triples. See my Gixxer conversion thread.
 
dont be a heathen .......:D

the square light and cluster make that bike what it is . have seen many ,particularly on here, with round lights and other clocks and in my opinion it ruins a classic and perfectly good body work design .....:cool:
 
im assuming the stanchions are not the same diameter.

i retained mine on gsxr usd forks. i took the original bracket and cut off the round bits that slide over the stanchions. i then got some new ones knocked up by a friend in a machine shop to match the diameter of the usd tubes.i allowed a small bit of play to slip in some rubber to have it sit snug and not scratch the ally tubes. then had em rewelded and painted.

they look the same as the regular bracket ..now just with bigger stanchion hoops.light sits in same position as before.

clocks were easy...bit of threaded rod and some ally bar ...you can get em to sit pretty much how you want em :)
