    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.

Case Bars: Interchangeabilty

Can anyone tell me if the engine case protection bars from a 750GS will fit an 850GS.
I am in Australia and have been offered a set in Canada that were previously fitted to a 750GS.
The deal is OK but no point if they do not fit. The seller (Nice guy) believes they will fit.
Can anyone confirm?
 
I would suspect you'd be hard pressed to find an informed answer.
 
I have both an 1100E and 1100G. I can tell you this much with certainty: The case guards for the GS1100E do not interchange with the guards for the 1100G.



Now then.

Since the 1100E and 750E guards interchange, and the 1100G guards fit the 850G, then the logical conclusion is that guards for the 750E will not interchange with the 850G.

With that logic, then the 750G guards should fit the 850G. However, that would be an expensive mistake if they don't. :disillusionment:

There was no 750G, other than the destroked 850G version sold in Japan before Japan allowed bikes greater than 750cc on the road.

The poster is just putting the "GS" behind the displacement, not in front of it as is normal.

Oops. I'm not that familiar with these bikes. I was assuming he meant a 750G and an 850G.
