My new 1983 GS1100e I just bought today

Ok, sent you some pictures. If you need different views, just give me a shout.

Hmm, let me see if I can get this to work....

Nope, it will not let me copy and paste full size pics even if I pre shrink them to say 200k-400k. The only thing it will let me do is use the forum "add picture" button, and only one picture at a time. Then when it's uploaded to the forum site here, it is a single thumbnail you have to click on to expand, but it only expands to a smallish medium size. Very frustrating. And I don't really want to use a photo hosting site, as every single one I have used over the last 20 years has gone to ****s, and I lost access to the pictures or they were held hostage for money or other bs....
let me see if I can just email them to you....

I've been using Flickr for a few years now to host pictures that I want to share. It's free, and I like the layout, and it hasn't gone to ****s.

What I want to know is how guys add large photos to the body of their posts on here. I had it figured out once, but I've forgotten.

Underneath the BB code that you copy and paste in Flickr there is an arrow that offers you a variety of sizes. Click on that first and select the size you want and then copy the BB code....

Thanks, lets see if I share them. In the words of George Takei, "Oh my!"

So Rick, how do you insert the pictures into the body of the text? I thought I used to be able to do that on here with a simple copy and paste. I try that now, and it shows the picture just fine in the dialog or text box like right here, but when I hit the "post quick reply" button it disappears.

 

[maicojoe]

So were those pictures of the front brakes what you were looking for? They seem to work just fine. Way, way better than stock 1983 brakes. You can lock the fronts at 60-80 mph if you want. The 1983 brakes in comparison, are more Fred Flintstone, scream your best Yabba Dabba Doo! and drag your boots on the tarmac.....

With these I just did a copy and paste from the email pics you sent and posted it right into the text box. I didn't expect them to show up so huge, but now even Ray Charles can see the mods.

This is a copy and paste from one of you earlier thumbnail pics after I clicked on it and enlarged it.

I haven't tried any brake mods yet, but having to ride modern sport bikes at work and being able to practically do a stoppie with two fingers and then getting on these old bikes and have to grab a whole hand full and wished I had more, makes me want to think harder about it. If you talk to the PO again, could you ask what the discs and calipers came off of? They look like aftermarket rotors, maybe EBC.

 

[maicojoe]

Will try copy and paste again.....

 

[Guest]

that whole front end is done, not just the brakes...edit: I see it is an 1150 front end, didn't realize how beefy they look! .nice score!

 

[maicojoe]

Now this is strange..... the pictures you copied and pasted to the above showed up just fine all yesterday and most of today... now they are gone.... can you see them?

 

[paulyp]

I know this is an old thread and I Pm'd Joe but would anybody know who makes the mounts he's using on this bike for the handlebars?
They look like a clip on mounted to the forks but allow a tube handlebar to bolt on?

Cheers
Paul

 

[rphillips]

I think he used a GS1150 front end. The GS1150's do have a clip-on bracket with a straight tube bar. The GS1150 has a taller rise than the GS1150ES. I'm not seeing the picture.

 

[paulyp]

All the GS1150's I have seen have clip-ons either low or high?
This looks different?



Cheers
Paul

 

[rphillips]

AAAhhh now I see, Glad you pointed those out. I've not seen those before but a really good idea. They make way more options for the 1150's!

 

[dorkburger]

Definitely an 1150 front end. Looks like aftermarket handlebar mounts were somehow added to the top clamp.

 

[paulyp]

Yes they are a great idea for sure. Maybe home made?

Cheers
Paul
