    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...

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.

gs1000 engine into a gs850?

i converted my 850 shaftie to a 1000 chain driven motor. front mounts were close to lining up. rear mounts needed a spacer due to being less wide in the back. i am hardtailed have a rear gsx-r rim spaced to line up. as with everything, it can be done with enough time, money, and patience. i would assume with a 1000 swing arm and wheel it should line up i would suspect. didn't go that route though.

Which reminds me... I wonder how well a black 84 1100GK engine will look in a black 80 850G? :eek:

It would look GREAT, ... if you could get it in there. :-k

The frames are different part numbers, but I think most of the difference is in the rear footpeg/muffler mounts and tank mount. The motor mounts might be different.

If you want a preview, look in my sig at #2 son's bike. OK, it's not black and it's not an '80, but the '81 is the same styling, and it has a black '81 850 engine.

With the help of my friend, I got the 1000 engine in the 850GL frame. Everything lined up and the only spacers I had to put in were on the top rear mount. There was a 2 washer thick space. Now the only problem I have is finding all the bolts I took out of the frame when I tore down the 850 I burned down. Any thoughts on which rear diff I should use? I have both 850 and 1000. I will be using the smaller 850GL rim since it already has a new tire on it.
