A note to new registrants...
All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.
A Special Note about Email accounts!
DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.
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.
Good information. Thank you!
I had a chopped one on mine previously... If I remember it was out of necessity to chop out some damage but also suited the look I wanted...

Is that a gs1100 fender you are running now?
Yes, I run the whole front setup off an 83 GS1100E with the addition of a fork brace, anti dive block-off's (with a linking channel), straight weight springs & cartridge emulators...
At some point I may well put the chopped fender back on... who knows. It's been waiting for a re-paint for about half a dozen years...
I use the Mikes XS emulators with an adapter. The rebound adjust still works after fitting them. I run a chopped stock spring. It's chopped the most you can go to give me a 43lb spring rate. I'm only 160.
If I was going to buy some I'd get Sonic. How heavy are you? You could potentially use Progressives with the close would end cut off if you're heavier than me. They are 50lb straight weight when the progressive end becomes coil bound (the coils touch to make a solid tube).
They sometimes come up on here a bit cheaper. (I have a set I'd probably sell).
But this is what you have installed in your gs1100 forks? What adapter is needed, I assume the dampner rods still need drilling etc.
