    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...

  • 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.

i have a chance at getting a different front end setup for a steal, but before i pull the trigger i figured i would ask the world of gs. a setup has caught my eye and it might be a long shot but the have seen front shocks with the triple trees for cheap off a 1985 gs550e nothing is wrong with them, i like the way they look and they have the shock adjustments on the out side bottom of the shocks. would they fit my 78 gs550e and what would i have to do to make them work. i am cautious about it cause i am not sure if the my rotors would have to be changed or if it would work at all thank you
 
If they are the same diameter you might be better off putting the fork legs in your stock triple trees....

The triple bearing should fit (or be convertable - ball to taper type) but you'll probably have to work out steerer stops, ignition plate, something to hold the gauges etc.

Doesn't the 85 have clip-on handlebars too?
