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...

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.

I'm putting a 91 GSXR 1100 front end on my 1979 GS 1000, and I keep searching, but can't find a picture or diagram of placement of the steering stops that must be installed. Can anyone point me to an example of this? Thanks.

First, cut off the big stop that runs at the right front of the steering stem

From there, you can engineer what you want. The left stop is usable, but may allow too much travel.

The left stop is definitely too long, I drilled and used a bolt to shorten it up. Mine's an 92 Katana front end

Left front - see where I cut off the stop?

Different fork, similar idea. I could have cut the one off at the front of the triple but it wasn't harming anything... Those stops are threaded on the ends you can't see with a cap head allen bolt in them so you can add washers to adjust. The 750 frame has steerer stop "pads" in the gusset where the head tube meets the down tube.

I can give you the CAD files for the stops if you want them... :)

On one side I used the Steering damper hole (as I wasn't planning to run one/would get a collar that bolts to the fork leg if I really needed one), on the other I drilled my own hole & reinforced it with a big spreader plate (washer) cut to fit in the hollow of the triple from below. :)
