    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.

My front rotors are getting thin on my '81 GS650G. I have a line on a set of front rotors off a GS1150. Its a remote seller and I'll have to buy them sight unseen. Would they work on my bike?

What type of 1150 is it. What year.

I asked the seller that question, but I haven't heard back yet. I checked Bike Bandit and the part numbers of the rotors between the two models are different.

(Checked '83-86 GS1150 models, all had the same numbers.)

best ask the seller to measure for you:
1. diameter
2. offset

the bolt pattern would be the same

That and If the seller can, use a caliper to measure rotor thickness. You don't want to spend good money for rotors that are at the end of their useful life!

Pretty half-hearted cooperation from the seller- I didn't follow up any further. Thanks, folks, for the thoughts.
 
Parts catalog shows same part number for GS1000GL for 1981. I have a good pair from a 1981 GS1000GL but they aren't slotted. Are the rotors on your bike slotted?

I'll have to bring a caliper with me tomorrow to measure rotor thickness if you're interested.

PM me for more details etc.

Thanks

Just an FYI, Bike Bandit uses there own part numbering system so it is not the best place to find part compatibility. I always use www.cheapcycleparts.com. You can look up your part and then go back to the search page and enter the number and it will show all models that use that part.

That's what I use, cheapcycleparts.com, because they use what appears to be the OE catalog.

I have a set of slotted of an 80 GS1000G & a set of solid off a 78 GS1000E that I could sell if you're interested...

My research says they are the same size... when you say yours are thin, what do they measure?

Dan :)
