    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.

Not sure if any one can shed any light on my dilema, I've got a early GS1100G. Is there any way I can change the shaft drive to chain. or fit a newer 3 spoke shafty wheel.... any help would be greatly recieved.
I know I could just change the engine but the one I've got is like new and I'm having a new frame built for it
Cheers
Milo
 
As far as making change You are out of luck. You would have to have a custom wheel made $$$$$$. You can not make a chain drive motor out of a shaftie motor. The Chain and shaft Frames are different, so you can't just put a chain motor in your bike
 
Found a way around my problem

Found a way around my problem

Cheers for your help anyway, but I've found a way around it..... a friend just sold me he's 85 GSX1100R so I'll use the engine out of that for my project instead.
One happy chap....lol
Cheers again

I would wonder why someone would make the huge effort, but I did see the oddest thing at a hillclimb a couple weeks ago - a Yamaha XS750 triple (~'79) hillclimber with chain drive. I have one of those rugged beasts, but cannot figure why anyone would make the effort to make a hillclimber out of one.
