    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.

Hi,
Have a 79 GS1000 that is set up for draggin'!! Six inch extension on the back, gsx-r 750 rear tire and front end. my question is: it is an 88-89 gsx-r 750 front end. The tubes are 43mm. I would like to know what other top triple tree would swap on so I can use drag bars instead of the clip-ons?? Thanks.
 
Bandit 1200 has 43mm tubes with handlebars but don't know if tube spacing and offset are same. Why not drill and install bar clamps on existing top clamp?

I thought of that. However, the top tree is aluminum, and, the underside is " hollowed" out ( not a solid piece). So, I figured it would probably be pretty week. Not what you want doin" 130 mph in the 1/4!!
 
Find a good aluminum welder and fill those cavities.

I am using the same front end on my bike. I found a set of used handle bar clamps at a bike shop. From the underside of the top clamp I drilled a couple of pilot holes through one set of the tapped holes for the guage bracket. Then from the top side I drilled and tapped to accept the bar clamps. I didn't have to go all the way through so there are still threads left for the guages. They were similar to these but were for 7/8" bars, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1857297999.
