    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...

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.

Hi.Would anyone know if a gs850g fuel tank would fit a gs1100g??

Thanks
 
FRom what I understand if they are the same year and same model (I.E G to G or L to L) they will fit. The 850 and 1100 share many things, The 1100 being a bigger bore version of the 850
 
My 83 1100g has a tank from an 82 850g on it right now. The tanks from both bikes are identical except for color.
 
I realise that this is a little off topic, but if the 1100 is a bigger bore version of the 850, does this mean that I can mount an 1100 engine in my gs850L frame? Just curious.
 
the 850 tank would need to be from 82 or later the early 850 tank mounted with one bolt, the latter tank uses two bolts.
 
Yes it will fit..The 850g and 1000g share many parts, this being one of them.

The 850 is a 1000 frame, so many 850, 1000 and 1100 parts innerchange, as long as it goes in the same series G, GL, GN etc...

Now as far as other post asking if the 1100 is a bigger bore version of the 850, no. The 850 is a overbored 750 and that's where that block stops. The 1100+ is a overbore of a 1000 motor.

Oh and yes a 1100 motor will fit in a 850 frame, seeing it is really a 1000 frame.
