    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.

On Paul Kahnert's story about his bike he mentions his 93 Gixxer front end bolting staight on. Is this a literal bolt on and away you go or is there minor work to be done to fit it? Also Would a Gsxr750 front end be up to the job on a GS1000? Are they the same components?
 
Both 750 & 1100 front ends of that year will bolt straight in but the 750 forks are shorter, apart from that they are the same ;)

you really need the 1100 forks for the extra lenght tho :D
 
Shorter might be better as my wife cant ride it at stock height. Just need to lower the back then. Like i said in my introduction thread. I had better get the bike first. Its all too exciting.
 
Just check out how much lower you need the bike mate ;)

93 750 forks are 740mm long where as the 1100 forks of the same year are 775mm long either will lower the gs a fair bit obviously & theres probably a few mm lost in the wheel & tyre as well :)
 
GSXR forks are usually bolt on, mounting gauges is the harder part, but certainly not rocket science.
 
Stock GS forks are about 800mm from top of tubes to centre of axle from memory, maybe a little longer.

You'll lose at least 50mm in the height of the wheel & tyre I would think if you go to a 17".

Most do the 1100 with the CBR top triple (stepped to gain an extra inch). Bike is then probably about 2" lower at the front which is probably marginal for clearance for a 4:1 pipe....

As well as gauges you'll need to sort out the ignition switch & probably the steerer stops too. Most don't use the clipons so you'll need risers & a bar to bolt onto it as well.

Dan :)
 
Do you know the if the 550E has the same legnth as the later 1000s? This might be my answer to my prob
