    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.

Could only do 1 pic per post that way ever.Photobucket can be "cranky" at times,I just try later if it gives me grief.Posted a pic today,no problem.The bike in your attachments looks to be a 79.It's hard to tell for sure with the touring package on but the rear cowl looks to be smooth and the heat shields on the 'Jammer would make the choke lever on the 78 inaccessible.Bet there's a choke nob on the steering head.

yep your riight, there is a choke knob on the triples. I though it was a 78 because the date stamp on the frame is 9/78. I didn't realize they used that type of choke on the mechanical carbs, which it has. It also does not have an indented tank so I figured someone changed it out or sold it and put this one on it. Glad the other gs I picked up has a indented tank.

Ok now I got it to take my photos ill upload more larger pictures. Ok so heres a new question. Can I use the both of rotors from this rim on my spoked rim so I can have dual calipers. I kind of like the solid looking rotors but I do have a set of slotted rotors from the parts 850 I had sitting in the garage from the girlfriends build. Can I use the later rotors on earlier rims? Did they change the bolt pattern or hub dimensions? How about, can I use the later calipers with these rotors and rims? I have a few spare sets of those.

Believe it or not but the tank has almost no rust on the inside. So at least I can use it as is with a paint job of course.

Most of those questions are answered in the early posts of my 78 GS1000 thread linked in my sig.
