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.

does anyone make rear sets for the gs1100 i hav an '82.I've been workin on the bike throughout the winter and its running like a demon! this past weekend i took the bike out to work on a launch rpm and i noticed that with the cut seat i hav on the bike i need to move my feet down and back a little any info will be very appriciated.
 
Raask makes rearsets for your bike, although I hear they're not the best quality.

If you're OK with a bit of light fabrication, get some steel plate and cut a triangular piece out of it. Drill/tap holes in it so that you can bolt it onto your stock footpeg mounting holes, then drill/tap holes wherever you like to bolt on your rearsets. This will move your feet up and back. GSXR 1000 rearsets work well because the spline pattern on the shifter shaft is the same between the Gixxer 1000 and the GS1000/1100. You may need to (I'm using Gixxer 1000 rear brake and rearsets, so this part is speculation) modify the GSXR brake rearset and/or the GS rear master cylinder to get them to work together, but the mounting methodology will be the same as the shifter rearset. Hope this helps.
 
yeah maybe i'll try raask im not much on fabricating! but you say the gsxr1000 sets might work???any particular year i can probably dig up a rear M.C if i hav to...thanks for the help

I know for a fact that the 03-04 Gixxer thou shifter rearset will work - I'm gonna be using that on my GS1000, the GSXR 1000 shifter fits like a glove on the GS shift shaft. Again, you have to make a mounting plate for your GS for this to work. Look for an 03-04 shifter rearset that looks like the one below if you go down this path, the 05+ won't work. YMMV getting the GSXR brake rearset to work with the GS master cylinder. I'm using a 2006 GSXR 1000 rear brake and swingarm so getting the 2006 brake rearset to work isn't an issue.
