    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...

    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.

GS1000

Guest
I recently bought a used 1978 GS1000 and want to install lower superbike style bars on it. Does anyone know the correct part numbers to use for the shorter cables? does anyone know if the GS1000S cables will work or are the ends different because of the carbs? Thank you.
 
I never changed the cables when I put Superbike bars on my 1978 GS 750, and never had a problem. The GS 1000 is pretty similar in most respects, so I'd think you'd be ok with the originals. Lube the cables while you have everything apart, and be careful of losing the contact in the starter switch.
 
S model Clutch cable will work - you can use existing throttle cables no probs. S is different I think. Actually I have all stock cables on one of mine, just changed the routing a little - works ok.

I'm using stock length cables on my 78 GS1000. It has drag bars with 1" risers. They loop a little bit but it isn't horrible or especially noticeable. That said, I'll probably use "S" cables when I replace the ones I have now.
