    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.

K another question lol... The forks on my 80-81 GS1100E forks are 37mm are the forks on a 82-83 GS1100 the same?
 
Yes, they are all 37mm & about the same length. The tubes won't all interchange though so keep complete legs together. (also some differences on the L versus E models).

The 1000 & 850 are 37mm too. The 1100EZ? (the one with all the boxes) is the only one that's different at 41mm.
 
Okay then, so what I'm reading the 37mm bushings for the 82-83 will be okay for my 80-81.
 
According to the parts list they list 3 different GS1100s for 82-83, GS1100ED, GS1100ESD and the GS1100EZ all chain drive. They all use the same part number for the bushing so I'm gonna go on that and order, so I'm gonna take the chance the bushing is going to be the same for my 80-81 1100E

You're thinking of the mighty GS1100GK.

Yeah the L model doesn't have any adjustments save for the air pressure, which I think is pretty useless anyways. The E has all the adjustable goodies. Rebound, damping and air.
