    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...

    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.

hey, i have a 79 GS1000 and i picked up a basket case 82 GS1000. I was wondering if there's any advantage (or even if i can) use the carbs from the 82 on my 79.
 
There are many other differences between the two bikes, too.

First of all, there was no GS1000 in '82.

The last GS1000 would have been an '81 GS1000G (shaft-drive), your '79 GS1000 would have been chain-drive.

I do know that the head from the '80 GS1000E (and S) was the same as the head on the GS1000G (shaft-drive), but I don't know if they would fit on an earlier block, all of which would have been chain-drive bikes.

In other words, if the newer head fits the older block, the only way to use the newer carbs would be to change the head, too.

.
 
can't use them eh? hmm well it's no big deal as there's nothing wrong with the stockers....not really much I can use off the 82. looks like they did alot of changes. you know if the pistons, cams, valves heads ect. are the same?
 
your right steve i had the 2 in my head because of the 2 year differance..,haha my bad.
