    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.

REbuilding top end of 77 GS750. when complete it will have stock compression 850 kit, Mac 4 into 1, and K&N in stock airbox. Stock cams. Head and jugs are going to machine shop for valve job and boring.

Should I also be considering machine work to increase compression and if yes what machine work is recommended. (Considered hi compression 850 kit but it was 13:1 and I thought that was too high for street.) Bike will be ridden on the street, not raced but I figure as long as the machinist has the parts . . . .

Thx in advance for any help. Mark in MN
 
Wow...13:1 is REALLY high for an air-cooled engine. Unless you have serious race fuel you'll be detonating all day long.

You need to find a way to lower that some...I'd say anything over 10.5:1 might be trouble with 93 octane and an air cooled engine.
