    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.

Hi you GS,ERS out there THIS IS MY FIRST POST I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT REAR END DRIVE UNITS WILL FIT MY BIKE.
i HAVE A 82 GK 1100 ;)
 
All the 850/1000/1100 rear ends are the same and will interchange. Starting in 1983 the ratio was changed slightly to afford lower rpm's.

If you are in the US and need one I have a spare you can have for cheap. Drop me a PM if you want to discuss.

I also have 2 spare rear drives for the GS1100. If you are close to the DFW area let me know.
 
etype,

Welcome to GSR.

I might ask why you ask. And the reason I ask why you ask is this: If you think you have something stripped out or otherwize something failed in the rear drive, it probably isnt stripped out in the rear drive, but more likley in the rear wheel. Do some searches on "rear spline" or "rear hub". Or PM me, I can send some pictures.

Dave's right to ask, the rear spline often strips out on the later bikes but the rear ends are bullet proof. Before spending money on a rear end it would be smart to pull the rear wheel and have a look see in case you haven't already done so.
 
Good Morning e-type
Please elaborate on what you found in your rear drive unit.

The wheel spline was replaced befor i got the bike and is in v good condition.
I inspected the drive side spline and it is 1/3rd worn.

Hi Mr. etype,

-----
EDIT: Sorry, I just noticed that you said your drive side gear is pretty worn. I also have a spare unit, but I think it's from an 850 so the gearing will be a little lower than others. Make sure you put it back together with some Honda Moly 60 Paste lubricant. It's "the kind". Check out this info on spline lubricants. Welcome to the forum. I'm glad you found us. We'll try our best to help you keep your classic GS on the road. :)

Check the spline gear in the rear wheel (forgive me if you've already done so). If it's not the final drive unit (these things are pretty tough), it could be this:

Bevel Gear Shaft Repair
(by Mr. Zooks)

...or some other issue in the area of the U-joint on the back of the bevel gears. What are your symptoms?

And, since you are new here I haven't giving you a cordial greeting yet....well, here it is! :)
