    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.

Head from a S(N) or S(T) - how do I tell?

I've been given a head that looks like it is from a GS1000 - no details (engine or VIN) from the donor bike are available.

What can I look at, look for or measure on the head to determine if it is suitable for my GS1000S(N) or an S(T) - or indeed if it is from a GS1000S at all?

BTW - the head has come with the cams too which look different to those on my S(N) -they don't have the plastic sound deadeners on the cam sprockets.

Thanks
Ian

Not sure what you guys had in Australia but here in the states the SN had VM carbs and the ST had BS/CV carbs with larger intake ports. As far as I know the ST head is the same as the G model.

The models that arrived in Austrlalia: the "S" has VM28SS carbs and the "T" models had VM30SS carbs. This from the excellent site:

I've also had a look at the cams and the exhaust cam has 490 stamped on the cam sprocket and the inlet cam has 451 stamped on the cam sprocket.
 
Ian, you guys in Oz got a different ST to the Yanks and us Poms. Sharpy on here is going to be the guy to get in touch with.
