    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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 already own an 82 550l. I have the opportunity to pick up a 78 550l for dirt cheap which i would be interested in using as a parts donor. Would any of the parts from it be useful on my 82? Or would it just be a waste of money and space?
 
I dont think the parts are interchangable, but hey buy it fix it up and have a second bike.:D
 
I agree a lot of the p[arts aren't compatable--esp the carbs--I assume you have CV Carbs and the 78 should have VM carbs.
 
Different everything between those years

Some things would interchange, like wheels
 
Lots of parts will exchange between those years. Whether it's worth the hassle depends on what parts you need.
