    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...

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.

GS1000

Guest
I recently bought a 1978 GS1000 and want to put superbike style lower bars on it. Does anyone know the correct clutch and throttle cable part numbers to use? Cani use the GS1000S parts or are the ends possibly different to attach to the carbs? Thank you.
 
GS1000 shorter cables

GS1000 shorter cables

Thanks Steve, did you use the 1979 'S' part numbers? any chance you can tell me how much rise you have so i use shorter bars?
 
I put super bike bars on my S and the stock cables work great. I made the mistake of thinking the cables for all the GS1000 models for that year are the same..duh..no. The S cables are four and a half inches shorter.
 
I have used Euro & Superbike. Stock clutch cable is a little tight but it does work. S clutch cable is better.

You can stick with stock throttle cable (I have on both my bikes) with no problems.

Dan :)
 
Superbike bend bars are similar to the S bars. Having the proper length cables makes the routing cleaner without all the excessive length creating possible binding.
