    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.

Centre stand questions.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the best section to post this question, but here goes. I've got a rough '78 gs 1000 project that didn't come with a centre stand. I'm wondering if there are stands from other bikes that will fit, particularly a 82 GS750E?
 
Here are the models that the '78 1000 (E,C,N) center stand shares per Babbits online:

GS1000C (1978)
GS1000C (1979)
GS1000EC (1978)
GS1000EC (1979)
GS1000EN (1978)
GS1000EN (1979)
GS1000N (1978)
GS1000N (1979)
GS1000S (1979)

Doesn't appear to relate to the '82 750 stand tho. Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for the responses guys. I was just wondering if they could easily be modified to work, as in a bit of grinding or the addition of some spacers. I've got some photos and measurements for the 750 stand coming. I'll make an assessment when I get the photos.
Thanks again.
 
Hi,

Using the parts number cross-reference procedures HERE or HERE, if they have the same part number they will fit without modifications. Suzuki used many of the same parts across a number of different models.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Rusty, if you could fire me a couple of measurements, that would be great. I know there's a few on e-bay for cheap, but the shipping is $tupid $$. If the 750 stand will work, I'm hoping to combine shipping with some other goodies that I'm buying.
 
I will tonight or tomorrow. it all depends on when I find a spot of free time to edit a picture with dimensions.

Excellent! I'm in no hurry, whenever you get a chance is great. I have a feeling this "winter project" is going to take me a couple of winters. :-\\\
 
All yours!

Check e-bay, there are plenty of center-stands laying around for GS bikes.

I can't use the center-stand on my bike...exhaust is in the way.
I just removed my gas tank, installed an ATV winch in the roof and hooked her to the frame, and up-up awaaaayyy she goes!
