    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

It would sure be nice, wouldn't it?

The short answer is NO. So is the long answer.
 
You mean a set of bicycle derailleurs off my ancient 10-speed won't work? 8O
 
yeah

yeah

Yeah, for sure! When I'm in 5th gear, I often times get the "urge" to shift again. 8)
 
THE ONLY possible thing you can do is some of the 83 GS1100GK models used a different gear ratio in the rear differential 2.91 vs 3.08 or something like that.
The GS 1000/1100 is geared different with the beveled gears AND NO they are not interchangeable. On The GS 850 / 1000 the 1000s output shaft is longer so the 850 will not engage the gear splines.
I do not know if the output shafts could be interchanged by splitting the cases
 
Good suggestion Lynn!

I'll keep that in mind if ever my tranny blows up

Kinda like the pickup on gear #5 though!

What about one for a 750?

I'm afraid not. There are special transmissions out there you can put in your 750 but they are for drag racing and are really a pain in the arse on the street...I know, I have one. But even these special transmissions have 5 or less gears.
