    ++1 I converted my T two years ago and was amazed how much smoother it was than my E with the 630 :rolleyes:. I went with an X-ring chain, 18T front/50T rear sprockets and don't forget the 6mm thick spacer washer you'll need for the front. I got everything I needed from Z1 and just ordered the...

    1980 GS750E progressvie fork springs

    The 227mm (8.94") is the same as speced for the '81 (per my notes). I used 15W fork oil and balanced the level in the forks to 8.8" down from the top and have run that way for about 5000 mi. Remember: more oil = higher level = lower number = stiffer suspension...and the opposite is true. For...

    Progressive Fork Springs Progressive Fork Springs I've been running Progressive springs since 2009 in my 1981 GS750E. A quick look at the Progressive site shows me the same part number for the '80 and '81 models. If you just look at the gallery pics you'll see that the forks are different...

    Accidentally left on PRIME

    Put bike on the center stand, jerk the spark plugs out, put the gearbox in 5th, rotate the rear wheel (in forward direction, see arrow on tire)....observe gasoline blowing out of spark plug holes. Change oil.... The above describes MY experience :p

    This answers your requirements...sort of. It is period correct Rabid Transit by Don Vesco. It was originally mounted on a 1980 GS1100E, it's not a vetter but uses a Vetter mount.

    I run IRC Durotours on mine. 120/90-17 on the back, 100/90-19 on the front. I like 'em...dry pavement, wet pavement, gravel, or mud they don't seem to care :D Check your wheels for "Tubeless Tire Applicable" embossed on the rim. '82 was a transition year where the '83's should only have tubeless...

    1981 gs750 ex tscc drive sprocket question

    The inner and outer plates are cushions (sort of) and will be of no use with the typical replacement sprocket. Generally the countershaft sprocket supplied by Z1 will require a 6mm spacer than goes on the OUTSIDE so that the countershaft nut will fully tighten.

    how to remove krauser side bags?

    Turn the key on the rear latch, push the latch in and swing the rear out. If they're locked, they are all keyed the same so perhaps someone locally can get 'em unlocked for you. I'm pretty sure the BMW bags are keyed the same too in case you have a buddy with a vintage beemer.

    81' gs 750 gauges

    Since the 1100 has a 'system status' panel below the tach, I don't think its plug and play. Depending on what you're trying to fix, I expect the internals are compatible.

    530 Conversion spacers from Z1

    I installed an 18T front and 50T rear for my '82 750T. Got them from Z1 in 2009 along with an RK 530 X-ring chain. The only spacer I recall, and the only one shown on the invoice is the 6mm for the front.
