    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...

    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.

Need brake parts - 1980 GS750E

I am in need of new front brake pistons and seals, as well as a master cylinder rebuild kit for my 1980 GS750E. If anyone has access to these parts or knows where I can get some inexpensively, I'd love to know. Partsnmore.com has master cylinder rebuild kits for $20, and bikebandit.com claims to have the pistons (which are supposedly discontinued) for $16 and change. Are these the best deals? The local bike shop said they'd charge me around $25 for 1 piston and $15 for 1 caliper kit, so I'm trying to do a little research. If anyone has any extra complete front calipers laying around that are in working condition, I'm also up for doing business. Thanks!

I have been buying the entire set up from eBay for about $30.00. You should check. Brake calipers and master cylinders are listed all the time.
 
Do you have the round or rectangular master cylinder? You never see them on Fleabay but there are two round ones listed right now. Do a search for GS1100 on Fleabay.
 
You know........unless you are a died-in-the-wool purist any Suzuki master cylinder will work. I even use the square ones on my handle bars that require the master cyllinder to tilt a great deal. Even the master cylinders from the ole' GTs' (two strokes) will fit a GS.
 
Even the square ones from Honda will work as long as the fit the bar diam..
