    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.

Rear brake stay and floating brake

I am finishing up the rear brakes on my 78 GS750 cafe. I have a 600 Bandit caliper mounted in the stock location with a lighter late model disc. Back in the day (drum brakes mostly) the brake stay arm mounted to the swingarm as our GS models do. Then Suzuki got smart with their dirt bikes and moved the stay from the brake drum to the frame. This reduced brake chatter and gave a better feel to the pedal. I am kicking around the idea of modifying the GS for a "floating " caliper. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? The anchor is the easy part, adding spacer etc to allow the caliper to float is more difficult.
 
Yeah, they do.......I guess I'm a glutton for punishment...But your right.
