    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.

GS750L rear shocks

Does anybody know of a longer, off the shelf shock that will fit an 80 GS750L? I know some CB750 shocks are 14.25" long, but the lower clevis is narrower. I am looking for a 14.25" rear shock set, to raise the rear end about an inch. I need it to raise the battery box farther from the rear tire. i also plan on stiffer springs.

my options so far are to get some CB shocks and grind my lower mounts, or get a custom set from IKON. That is, unless somebody here knows something I don't. Which is highly probable:D. Oh yeah, you guys all like pics, so here ya go!

I have a set of piggyback shocks that are longer. They are eye to eye but you can unscrew the bottom one & make up your own clevis for it.....

If you can weld that's some bent steel sheet & a bolt! Hardest bit would be finding a bolt of the right thread.
