    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.

I need some help with a fork brace

I have a 1978 GS750 and it very much needs a fork brace.

I ordered one frm Fast From The Past, for a 1977, and it did not fit.

The charts have 1977, 1979 through whatever, but skip 1978.

I thought that the forks were not changed between 77 and 78 but it looks like I was wrong. The slider diameter is correct but the distance between them is about 5mm closer on my bike than what the brace was designed for.

Any advise on what to get? Which vendor? Would the 79 brace fit?

Thanks all.

Bill
 
What is the distance between your forks?
Did someone swap something out?
