    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.

I did a ew searches and didn't find what I'm looking or even tho I've seen something similar posted on here before. What rear wheel options do I have for my 82 gs750ez? I want to stay with a gs 5 star, just can't remember which bikes had what size. Is there a chart that anyone has made up or ran across that will help? hight and width?
 
I am not sure how big you can go with the stock steel swingarm. I have upgrade to the 1100E aluminum one and i am putting a 3.5" 1150 wheel on it and I am pretty sure you can go bigger.
You can get an idea of how much room you have by measuring the tire to swingarm clearance.
 
The 750 uses a 2.15 x 18 wheel. The GS1000 uses a 2.5 x 17 which should be a straight bolt on (I think). The wider 17 can accept a wider and taller tire which should put your gearing right back where it was with the 18 (or close).
