    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.

I just saw a nice front end from a 91 katana 600 would that be compatable with my 80 gs1100e? Or is it to small?

Just did a cross reference of part numbers and they use the same steering head bearings. (wheel bearings too) soooo... I would say that it is a possiblity that it would fit, as long as the stem on the lower triple trees is a simular length, (they should be) I'll go out and see what the length of head stock on the frame on mine is and if your's is the same, that will tell if it would be possible to do the swap. I'll post it up when I can get it measured. Went out and the head stock on frame at 7in. top to bottom, fork leg length was top of tube to middle of axle, 31.5 in. that is with one inch longer (than stock) pre-load spacer in fork tubes (called $1 mod on kat riders forum) and bike on side stand. Had to modify instument mount and mount for ignition switch (had to use my 750's, fork from e-bay did not come with one) speedo cable is very short too, had to swivel drive unit on axle counter-clockwise and route cable straight up in front of brake calipers.
