    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...

    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.

Hi guys,

after lurking about for the good part of 18 months, I have kicked my project into gear.

1982 GSX1100.

fitted a 1995 GSXR1100 front end. very easy thanks to the info I have found here. thankyou Suzuki for making it so easy. Would you believe the castellated nut on the GSX, is the same dimensions as RGV and GSXR.. great as I laready have the special socket.

there are a few little questions I have but mostly the fit up was straightforward.

the forks are about 1 inch shorter than standard. I used bar risers to get the max forklength and a nice comfy ride. I could use underslung clip ons too i suppose but comfort would be gone.

Cheers

Ed

rear wheel.

1995 GSXR750 - 1100 wheel.
GSXR1100 K caliper hanger.
Hayabusa caliper and torque arm.
GSX1100 sprocket carrier.
GSX beaarings, GSXR middle spacer.

sprocket side spacer machined down 15mm.
RH spacer machined down 2mm.

offset sprocket from AFAM Japan.
so far so good, the sprockets look to line up using ruler. Yet to put the 530 sprocket on the rear ( have not yet ordered it). Just leaves me to get a tag welded on for the torque arm mount.

the caliper had to be spaced as well (on the caliper mount to caliiper bolts)using a couple of washers to centre it over the rotor.

Some nice 38mm CV slingshot carbs.. they fit over the std boots however some are cracked. where to get some new ones??

If you look real close you may be able to see the SRAD speedo sender i put on the crank end.
just tack welded a bolt to the end of the crank, then put a threaded insert thru the sender mech. about .5mm out of centre but seems not too bad. hardest boit will be to mount the pick up.
