    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 all! Just wondering if anyone knows if an '82 or '83 GS1100 Triple tree top can replace the top on an 1150? I think that the fork tube diameter is the same at 37mm. But not sure of the fork spacing or height. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.

Did you check and see if they have the same part number?
 
I'm guessing you want to mount different bars. I too have considered this. watch for clearance issues if you have a fairing. But couldn't we just get some risers from an old jap bike and drill a couple of holes in the stock triple to mount them?
 
It's definitly not the same part # because of how the handlebars mount. It's totally different. I suppose getting different risers could do the trick. I'd just be concerned if it would weaken the top at all. Good idea though. I'm doing this because I'm currently using vortex clip-ons at the moment which makes me have to raise the fork tubes in the clamp, which in turn gives me less fork travel. The whole bike has been lowered by a huge amount 'cause it's now in the shape of an outlaw pro-street bike. So at the moment I have about 1.8 inches of fork travel, and that's without the engine in it. I may need to put the forks back down to gain that clearance. Hence the GS1100 top. If it fits.
