    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.

Stupid question I know.. but my 81 gs650L had a NEW set of tires on it and I was wondering if it would be possiable to use them on my 79 GS750E since the from tires looks like the wyould be swapable.. is there any way to convert the rear wheel from shaft driven to chain driven?


Again i may be a stupid question but hey.. if you don't ask you'll never know
 
If you have new TIRES, you don't have to convert from shaft to chain drive, just put the TIRES on the shafty rims if they are the same size. Fronts should be interchangeable if they are the same size.


Or vise versa. put the tires from the shafty onto the chain driven wheel. Pay close attention to sizes.

Not too sure about the fronts, but the rears won't interchange because the L's all had 16 inch rear wheels.
