    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

New 450. I couldn't help it.......

Is there a slightly wider rear wheel? Don't see the point of upping the front wheel if the rear is the same tiny size.
 
Only the 16" from the L model. And I think a GN rear wheel is the same - 16".

Ummm, yeah, the first one.
It signaled the beginning of the end of the British bikes. Cheaper, far more reliable, did not leak oil and you did not have to tickle the carbs. Plus it had an electric starter.
I was on my T200 and rode with one from Pearland to downtown Houston (and back) one Saturday night. We had a blast.

Cool bike. Good luck with it.....A former co worker of mine occasionally talked about a gs 450 he rode years ago, and last I knew of he had it sitting unused for many years. At the time I had no love for small bikes, but now do. Sometimes I wonder if he still has it, and which 450 it was.....he is 6 foot plus, so im thinking not an L model.......
 
Nice score Larry! These are fun bikes in the twisties, just remember you don't ride the torque wave because there isn't one :D

About 6K to 8K on the tacho will keep you in the fun zone :D

I run 90/90-18 and 100/90-18 Avon Roadriders on mine with 32PSI front/rear and feel it has never handled the corners better... oh and Ikon springs and shocks front/rear as well.

Also, if you want to put a SH775 R/R on... ummmmm you will need to find somewhere for it as it is *huge* compared to the stock R/R... just following on from Rich's tips :)
