    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 have a 79 gs1000 that needs a donor bike. I have found a decent shape 79 gs750 for short money. Basically i want the donor bike for the carbs which i have found should be the same 26mm vms, what I wondering though is if the seat, calipers, and other misc parts are the same. Any input would be appreciated because I NEED the carbs but getting all the other little things would have me on the road in a day.
 
The carbs will fit, but the jetting is different. The calipers should work also, but the seat and body work wont. I don't know what misc parts you're talking about. You may need more than just carbs. Valve clearances, points......
 
The carbs were my main concern as one of mine is NG. everything else would have just been extra. Maybe I will just part the rest out.
 
You need a VM carb body?

Several people, including me, have extras
