    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. This is my first post here but I've already found a ton of information by searching around. I recently purchased a 1980 GS850GT (story and pics to come) with no side covers. I have a chance to purchase side covers from a 1981 GS850G and am wondering if they will fit and also are the side emblems the same or is there one specific for my GT? Not too worried about the emblems just curious...mainly want some side covers. Thanks in advance.
 
I believe the covers will interchange although I'm not sure about color or the emblems. You might want to check the part numbers to see if they are the same, or in the same supercession chain (which means they will interchange). Painted parts have a color code suffix so keep that in mind. http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm
 
The side covers will fit fine. The colors available may have been different, but any GS850G or 1000G (not GL) sidecovers will interchange 1979-81.

The 80 & 81 badges say GS850G, and I believe the '79 badges just say GS850.
 
Thank you all very much for the information. Now I'm off to post in the Carb/Fuel/Exhaust forum some plug pics.
