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...

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.

Anyone ever convert a G model to spoked wheels? Or perhaps know of a spoked shaft drive bike with a hub that could be machined to fit the GS's drive spline?

I have read about people using G model mags on the '85ish Suzuki Madura.
With the right spacers and such, it should be possible to mount the Madura spoked wheel on a GS-G model.
That is, if you can even find a Madura wheel. (it wasn't a real popular bike.)

Hehe, G-Spoke sounds like a rapper name.
I would assume that a shafty is a bit trickier to do a wheel conversion on than a chain-driven bike? I would like to do spoked wheels someday, too, but maybe it's a larger project than I anticipated.

JD -

I have a 77 GS750 and happened upon some spoke wheels on ebay from a 76 GS750. I'm not sure what bike you own, but all I had to do is swap my rotors and they bolted right on.
 
Madura may be a match

Madura may be a match

Checked out the madura on bikebandit's microfiche. The driven spline in the wheel appears very similar. Couldnt tell for sure because bb uses some made up parts #s. May have to take a trip to the boneyard to confirm.
 
Sweet, I recearched the parts on flatoutmotorcycles. The part #s for the driven spline that sits in the hub are the same for the GS-G and the madura! Only obstacle is the drum brake on the madura. Were they ever availible w/ disk rears? Anybody wanna sell me a madura rear wheel?
 
You are correct, the gv700 madura had a drum brake, try to locate the gv1200 wheel with the disk brake. Good luck, i hated polishing the flat spokes of my gv700.
