    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 all, fairly new GSR member, some might have seen the Hi from Norway thread. I'm also a fairly new owner of 2 gs 750 and 2 gsx1100 engines with two Harris frames.
I've started researching teams that raced in any FIM series 73-87(formula TT, World Endurance), but placing bets on more than one horse ups ones chances :)
The XR69 is the bomb

So I'm calling out to everyone on the GSR site: "HELP PLEASE"
Does anyone know, have info, pictures of teams racing a gs bike or gs engined bike?

Oh, and if anyone knows a good thread when it comes to more bhp don't be a stranger, give me a shout :), yes yes I know handling comes first, but that should be sorted, koni, ohlins, astralites, dymags, marzocchi is all in the bag.

Hei og takk / Hi and thanks :)
AMA superbike series isn't all that interesting when it comes to the best bike of the era, cool looking, but wouldn't stand a chance against a special endurance or F1 bike.

I know the Suzuki Factory Endurance team used the 750 engine, bored out to 900+cc but I'm having a hard time finding info/pics. McIntosh, Dunstal, Harris, Bimota, Gus Kuhn all used the GS750 engine in something that could handle(more then the factory made street bikes atleast), Tony Foale also made good frames back then, but if a GS750 engine was ever put in one I don't know, I'm sure it was, but I need a race bike.

Good on ya ozman, Thank You very much.
The Heron Suzuki XR69 1980 looks very much like a Harris job.

Did you see my thread on the XR 69 belonging to Dominique Meliand the guy heading the SERT team that won many of the endurance races over the last 20 years?
