    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.

Hey Guys,

I am looking at several different options for rear shocks, I am fairly new to the GS world and have recently purchased a 78 GS1000. I have ridden sportbikes for about 15 years and I am looking forward to building this beast up. Have any of you ever used Kawasaki ZRX 1200 shocks as a conversion option. I am looking for aftermarket shocks that have the piggyback res, and I would appreciate any options that you all have used with success that are budget friendly. I have researched the cheap ebay options and the TEC and JBS options so far and would appreciate any feedback!

Thanks Guys!

Thanks Steve! I just looked into the CL moto stuff, would love to hear someones experience using them after Chris has done his work. I wouldn't say I am firm on having a piggyback, I just want a good shock that will do well with riding the twisties and be a definite upgrade over stock with a half inch or inch increase.
