    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.

Hi can anyone tell me the degree of difficulty in converting a 1980 GS1000G shaftie to a chain dive ?. On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the hardest) how does this job rate or is it even possible. I did use the Forum search but couldn't find anything.

:D thanks...............Jack
 
More like a 25.7. :lol:

The easiest way I can think of is to swap an entire chain drive engine into your frame. Then swap a chaindrive swingarm and rear end onto your frame....

But Wait, Theres more! Your shafty frame has a different swingarm pivot mount than the chain drive bikes. So that means locating a donor frame from a chainy and cutting out the swingarm pivot area, and using that to replace the swingarm pivot on your shafty. Of course to do this right, you'd have to weld your frame to a jig to makesure nothing moves while you hack out the old and replace with the new.







Or you could just buy an E model. :wink:
 
Just buy another bike!!!!!!! It's not pratical You would have to cut the complete rear swing arm mount off & weld a chain swing arm on plus trying to mount a sprocket
 
It's very possible- if you are willing to throw a huge amount of money at it. Considerably more than a used "E" model.
