    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.

I've got a 1981 GS1000GL speedometer that doesn't work. Can It be change out with a speedometer that came off an 850? Does the speedometer have to come off of a bike of the same year? Or do I need one that comes specifically off an 81 GS1000GL? please help.
 
you can use a speedo from a 850 if it is a 850L the speedo needs to come from a bike that has the same size wheel as your bike or the calibration will be wrong.
 
How much of a difference in diameter is the 18" front end compared to the 19? My 1100 has the 19 and it indicates a good 30% faster than I'm going.

I thought it was the drive gear on the wheel NOT the speedo that affected the calabration. You have a pretty wide selection for a speedo from a 550 to a 1100
