    A note to old forum members...

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.

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.

gs 1000 1978, single front disc upgrade

So i recently purchased yet another 78 gs, this time a 1000.

Its the version with single disc front spoked wheel, Im nor crazy about the stoping powe but I'm messing so much with my 750 that I'm going
to try to keep this simple..
Iz there any modern disc and caliper that is a straight swap, i dont mind fabing a mounting bracket for the caliper but would love if there was a disc with the right mounting holes and offset that works with the original wheel.
Basically keep a single disc just better

Or since I'm already mounting a 07 gsxr750 usd front end with cbr945r top triple, 1 inch fork extender etc on my gs750 and the triple i have was fitted on a Honda
so it has a night hawk stem pressed in so i need to press out my stem from the gs750 stem, should i just press in the stem from my
gs1000 in the gs750 triple and use the dual brake 750 forks with my single break gs1000 hub and do the ninja swap?

I did the Saltymonk brake on one side of my 550, and it's pretty decent for a 550. With the extra mass of a 1000, no way. Your single brake gs1000 hub should be drilled for two discs.
 
So since i need to press the stem out of my gs750 to put in the gsxr i might as whell press my 1000 into the 750 triple, use the 750 legs setup for two discs and then drill
the hub.. ok.
have to do most of that pressing anyway
 
bearings are good on both bikes, I'm poor, hence rather switch stems.
