    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Anyone know of a company or individual that would have the correct set of rear bearings for my 1979 GS550E. I ordered a set and what I got is not correct not even close the sprocket bearing in new kit is half the size of what it need to be, the size required are 1 25x62x17 and two 17x47x14 I am putting these in to my 1981 GS1000 rim . I know I might need to just order individually but would like to know maybe what brand to go with etc. As usual any suggestions are appreciated.
 
The nearest bearing supply should have them in stock.

The 25x62x17 is 6305-2RS, the 17x47x14 is a 6303-2RS. 2RS means 2 rubber seals.

All about $5 each online, maybe another buck or two at a bearing place.
 
Thank you I really appreciate all the help that is offered here on the GS forums without ridicule, I dare wouldn?t ask such things on some of the OTHER forums without getting my ass handed to me, anyway thank you for your time and information.
