    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.

I have a great looking cafe racer, 1979 GS550.


However, I find chrome spoke wheels sexy. I know I know.

Shall I replace them? If so, what with? Any one done this?

I am in the uk

Front wheel would be easy. One from an an early GS550/750, or most of the GT series would fit without too much fuss. Rear wheel is a little more difficult, but if you don't mind having a drum rather than a disc, the above would be a good start. Have a look through some fiches, and see how much commonality there is betwwen those earlier models, and what you have now.
