    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.

What is the story on the GS1000 tanks with inserts around the badge?
Did the smooth tank show up half way through the '78 production run?
Was the tank with the insert used on both the standard and "E" models?
Lastly, did the tailpiece with the insert follow basically the same timelines as the tanks?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Yes, 1978 year model only had the special tank and tail. (built in 1977)
Both the "E" and the "C" in 78 shared the same tank and tail.

The black ones had a white stripe, and were nicknamed "Skunk's".
Around here, everybody refers to the 1978's as Skunk's whether they're black or not

In 79, the GS1000E actually had the "E" on the side cover badges the 78's all had GS1000 DOHC on the side cover.
