    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.

GSXR forks on the GS question ????

Okay , my GS1000 has early 86-87 GSXR forks on it. They are from the 750. Unfortunately the 750 forks don't handle the 1000 weight very well even after adding progressive springs inside. So now i have the GSXR 1100 forks from the same years 86- 87 but i now can't use the 750 wheel with those forks due to the 750 axle and bearings being a smaller. I figure i have two options . #1 find a 1100 axle, spacers, and bearings and install in the 750 wheel (not sure if that would work but i think the wheel between both models may be same size). #2 Since the 750 fork lowers are polished and look nice (and everything fits) maybe i could switch the internals from the 1100 to the 750 legs and not have to buy another axle etc. I would rather do #2 since i have the time right now and limited funds. Does anyone out there know about these?
The fork diameter is the same form the 750 and the 1100 (41mm).
Somebody please help me or steer me in the right direction as i want to ride this GS badly.
Thanks, gs1000dude
 
Could adding a little more pre-load the 750 forks help any? I switched to a 600 katana fork assembly on my '83 750 and found they were too softly sprung, adding preload did the trick for me.
