    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.

Need some help from the brain trust out there !
I have a late 79’ GS750…with factory mag wheels
I received the bike in boxes and most parts, I have to get some new wheel bearings, and I see that there are different bearings for “EC”, and “EN”, how dose one determine what one needs ??
Thank you for any help
 
but they have diff, part numbers ????
you think they are same ????
 
Could well be the shield type. Istr, the first wheel bearings I bought for my '79, I had a choice of metal shield or more of a proper seal built in. The originals I took out were metal shielded and I wasn't too impressed with the life span of them, to be honest. I went with Koyo, then and since, and never had the slightest doubt about the efficacy of the rubber seal, the Koyo bearings lasting much, much longer - probably related to the seal, as well as quality of manufacture.
