    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Would this be a good candidate for a front end swap onto my 1983 GS1100G?

Those are highly sought after, for conversions on 1st Gen GSXR but probably too short for a GS unless you keep stock exhaust.
 
Bike is already running V&H 4-1... Guess I'll pass on this. Thanks.

At least on GS1100E's that causes a right hand turn problem. I assume you were planning on using the 17" wheels as well?

You would need to compensate in one of a few ways.
Drop triple clamps off of a Honda (not cheap),
Taller shocks in the rear (expensive). There are some extension I have seen on ebay,
Move the shock mounts

It is hard to overcome both short 17" wheels and short forks.
 
My suspension is in need of updating... I'm just better off replacing the springs in my forks and upgrading rear shocks/springs. Thanks.

It is just a standard "bolt on" with a little welding and a small pile of cash
 
Pretty much same length. Thicker diameter sliders. loose the tach drive. It went to electrical.
