    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...

    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.

I have a set of brake shoes from Volar part number VBS606 that are too short to be installed in the brake drum. They said that I had the right part number and the only thing that could be wrong is that I have a brake drum from a different bike??? Are you guys aware of any other brake drums that will fit a GS 450 that would not be the exact same?
 
this is the email I received from them.

Dear Customer,

The part number* VBS606 is correct. The only reason that it may not fit is you have a different Drum than the Original Factory ones for the GS450.
 
EBC Application guide shows:
GS450TXZ = 609 (180x28mm)
GS450TZ = 606 (160X30mm)

You need EBC 609.

EDIT: If Volar has a VBS609, that's probably what you need.
 
that's gotta be it. The shoes they sent me are too short. I appreciate all of your help.
