    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.

What wheels do I have? What brake shoes do I need?

I just ordered new brake shoes for my 1980 GS450L that I had bought used with a lot of cosmetic modifications. I assumed the spoked wheels on there were stock but after trying to install the brake pads that were supposed to fit (Volar part vbs606) I realized they weren't even close to the right size. Now I don't know if the person I ordered from sent the wrong shoes or what shoes I actually need to order. Here's what I do know...

-Spoked wheels did't seem to come on 1980 GS450L's
-Bearing kit for a gs450 from All Balls fits fine and other hub internals match the diagram for the mag wheels
-Old shoes were marked ASK A17 FF, Suzuki
-Max diameter for the braking surface is printed as 1807mm inside the hub.

Any ideas what this wheel is from? What brake shoes do I need?

Thanks in advance. Chad.
