    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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 saved and enlarged the picture....those cams are DONE! One lobe had very deep rust pits in it.
I paid (sorry to say) $2500 for my '78 "skunk" last fall, but it had many upgrades and I drove it home about 180 miles. (23,400 original km on it)
The words "cheap" and "performance" definately do NOT go hand in hand.
As was said, you'll be into it for many bucks when you are done.

***still looking to put the hit on a fellow club member for the complete '78 GS1000EC he has buried in his shed:D***
 
Welcome to the site. If you end up getting it, I have a set of stock 78 GS1000 cams I'll gladly donate for the cost of freight. :)
 
I appreciate that, but it looks like he isn't going to sell for $300. I told him that I talked to some 1978 GS1000 friends, and all said that one shouldn't pay over 300 for a basket case in that condition. I got a nice reply from his wife, saying that he was going to contact me, and that is the last I have heard. I have been in constant contact with them, so this silence tells me that he probably isn't wanting to sell for that much. I hope he finds someone that will pay what he wants.... I have been looking for a GS 1000 or 1100, but I haven't found to many. I want a Chain drive, so that limits me. Everything that I have found is shaft....
 
Forget about it, move on..

Buy a shafty if thats all you can find.
I sorta "cafe'd" mine and its fun as hell!
