    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...

Hi forumers,

I'm a new guy here I was redirected from dotheton, I just bought my first bike last week! A running suzuki 83 gs750t for pennies. Of course it needs some( read- a lot of) work. I'm trying to get new parts to rebuild the seized front caliper and make it rideable.

I keep running into options on the parts for the calipers. I have to choose between "model d" and "model z"
All of the parts seem to be 1 number off between the two. (ex: 49-0001 and 49-0002) and the pictures are identicle in the diagrams. But I'm not sure where I find out which model I actually have. I know the model year is a D (1983) per the title/VIN, but I would assume that the Z would be the later model 1982, however according to the VIN decoders all over the internet the previous year is a C not a Z. What am I missing?

The choice for model d and z are not limited to brakes, but also some of the transmission and other parts. Anyone have a super spiffy decoder ring I can use? I just got stickers in my cracker jack box -_-

Thanks in advance!

Fantastic. So I had the right idea, but wrong chart. I was looking at the vin decoder chart.

Night shift has fried my brains. Thanks for the assist!
