    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...

Hello again everyone.... I have a 1982 GS1100GL that i have basically made a drag bike looking type of ride out of ( lowered & put a 1997 GSXR 750 Solo Tailpiece on it as well as a Shoei 1/4 faring) but it looks a little out of scale because of the large 19" front wheel.... is there any smaller wheel that I could put on there ( like a 16" or 17" wheel) that would work with the exisitng forks with the stock calipers on the 1100.... It would probably have to be a Mag wheel ( I hope ) to match the rear wheel as close as possible... I also think i will be putting a sidewinder type header on it so...I think I will need the smaller wheel for clearance also........... HELP !!!! anyone !!!!! ....Robb

*** I don`t thing such wheel exist. Only solution is to install different front end from GS 1150 ( 16`` wheel) or GSXR ( 17 `` wheel ).
I have complete front end from GS 1150 with brakes, front fender and good BT 45 ( 2000 km on them ) tires for sale + maching rear wheel, but I want lots of money for it :)))
