    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.

  • 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.

    Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk

    Successfully converted my 1977 GS550. I did things a little different than standard went with a W800 master (12mm bore), MD1124LS 320mm Rotor and an EX500 caliper. The brake master was a bust, but the rotor worked out rather nicely. It’s the No drill original fork option that has been asked...

I choose it since all balls stem mod was beyond my capabilities, and it seemed like pyramids kit didn’t require any mods. I was mistaken and...

    mechanical advance limited range GS550

    New to me 1977 GS550
