    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.

21" front rim

I have a 1981 1100e that I'm going to redo this winter. Does anyone know if there is a 21" spoke rim that will fit?
 
You could always lace a 21" rim to a GS 1000 hub, but why?
Going dirt riding or is this for style points?

LOL! I was wanting to do the exact same thing to my '80 1100E!! To add a bit of angle and for the style points. Didn't know if it would be easier to convert/adapt a non-Suzi 21" front to make it work, or to try and lace up something to a GS1K hub. The GS1000 hubs alone go for $50 on these boards, whereas I find nice and shiny HD fronts (rim, spokes, the whole shebang) on CL all the time for about the same $$.

Still trying to ascertain if the L model forks are any longer than the E forks. I don't know much about Brit bikes and their Jap bikes interoperability, but there was a springer front end for a Triumph on CL that looked pretty cool. I guess I should start compiling a database of headtube, trees, and fork diameters for various bikes...

I can understand the spokes, but the larger wheel I don't get. It seems it would look disproportionate (and monkey with handling). Do you have pics of an example?

I know for a fact the forks on the 80 750L and the 750E are the same. The forks on the 1100L and 1100E maybe the same length, though the L forks don't have the same adjustments as the E forks from what I could see.
