    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

hello, just wanted to know if its possible to change out my 1979 gs750l swing arm with a newer year gsxr 1100 1987 . the reason is I would like to change out the style of wheels. some months ago I was here and asking about carb settings etc. well, I could never get it right,and motor just give out,lots of miles. anyway I put in another low miles engine and im ready for paint.then got an idea on using another style wheel. the 1200 bandit has a set I found an was wondering if it was possible? any help or let me know if this is just a bad idea. thank you Captrise ps I would also be using another set of bigger forks, and triple trees etc. (1100) to adjust for brake system. thank you

Yes I can be done however it will not be a straight swap. Many of us have done similar swaps

Have a look at this thread for an example of what is typically needed:

Older GSXR stuff fits easier than this, but you are always going to have to work up new spacers and the like at a minimum.


One other thing. Some capitalization, punctuation and paragraphs would make your post much easier to read. You aren't texting your buddies at the bar, it needs to be more formal here.

It never needs to be more formal here.
But you will probably get many more helpful answers if you put up the effort.
