    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.

Any one know can I use a factory 1150 head gasket on a GS1100 that has a 1168 kit on it.
 
You need to trim it, but I can't tell you how. Call Rapid Ray (search for his phone number).
 
The OEM 1150 gasket is not cheap at around $100. The 1166 bore (75mm) is only 1mm bigger than a stock 1150 bore (74mm). The Suzuki 1150 parts fiche shows no oversize head gasket offered but they do offer a 1mm over piston (75mm). It is likely that the only head gasket offered would work with no trimming if you see my point. Disclaimer: I have not used the factory 1150 head gasket on a 1166 block, but it looks like it would work. I would use a cometic gasket and be done with it.

Ray trimmed an 1150 gasket for Posplayr. A guy on here (can't remember his name) used it for a 1168 kit and it worked.
