    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...

My bike 1983 suzuki gs750ed. I want to convert to a hydraulic clutch, why? there is much to be desired when the clutch, linkage and assembly come into play on these gs's. Ken Meredith built a 83 gs750es back in the early 90's and he did this conversion, it was a front sprocket cover with hydraulic slave cylinder from a Canadian 1984 suzuki katana gs750s pop up headlight anniversary edition (gold frame/gold valve cover) I actually contacted Ken a couple of weeks ago on the phone and spoke with him about his build. Extremely nice guy and glad to know he actually still has the bike after all these years. So what im looking for is a part number for the cover, a parts diagram, a salvage yard that may have one, or maybe a NOS part. after extensive searching on the interwebs ive had no luck. maybe because this bike was only a south africa, japan and canada market bike. anyways tell me what you experts think? is it a lost cause or do i have to fabricate modify my existing front sprocket cover and adapt a hydraulic slave cylinder for the clutch? Thanks Scot.
 
New Zealand got them too - and Australia I think. Try the internet buy/sell sites local - trademe in NZ and gumtree in Australia.
Most likely source is from someone putting an 1100 motor in for a racebike...
 
thank you i will try that. Were they called the "shark'' in New Zealand and Australia?
 
If Agemax is still around, you should talk to him. He set out to convert his GS1000 to a hydraulic clutch a long time ago.
