    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 just bought a 1980 GS1100LT and the speedo and tach are both bad. Every were I look the replacements are discontinued. I am planning on doing some mods too the bike so I am open too OEM options or aftermarket speedo and tach. I'm also looking for advice on what jet kit, filters, and exhaust would be best for the bike. Thank you in advance for all the help.

In order to answer anything, just about everyone is going to ask you what you plan on doing with the bike. What sort of riding are you planning? Track only? Daily driver? Or something in between? These bikes can be tuned any number of ways, depending on how you need it to respond.
 
Street Fighter

Street Fighter

I plan to make it more of a street fighter and us it for daily driving.
 
I am going to be using a VR2 in one of these indicator housings:

I have a good set of instruments from an '83 850 GL (140mph speedo). If that will work on your 16V motor, and you're interested, PM me.

Apart from that, I've been interested in the veypor units for a while. They have data logging capabilies, and can work with the Sportvue HUD.
 
I too am interested in aftermarket speedos and which would work best on GSs. Like jrh246, I too have an '80 1100L and speedo died (cable still good). So, figured I would take the opportunity to improve, like our original poster.
Any ideas, gentlemen (and possibly ladies)?
