    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.

New guy with swingarm question

I have an 82 GS750. To be honest, I'm not sure what model it is yet as a lot of the identifiers are missing. Single front rotor, chain driven with a rear drum. Single round headlight. I'm plannning on putting wire rims from a 79 GS on and converting the rear to disk. I'd like to replace the swingarm. I was thinking of converting to a mono shock setup or at the least, going with something like a swingarm off a 700ES or something similar.

The question is, what swingarms would at least be a bolt up for the dual shocks? Which would be a bolt up for a mono shock with just the need to weld in a mount for a mono shock?
 
You really should post a photo :)

Oh I see it's your first post .. welcome to the forum.

Sounds like a GS750T

I have an Ali swing arm from a GSX1100 in my 78 gs750 real easy fit just had to make some new bushes for the swing arm pivot.
 
I think that's what it is. My seat is different, no rear fender, etc, but I know the previous owners had tried turning it into some kind of street fighter or something, so most of the stuff was missing.

I think I might have a line on one of those swingarms.

Thanks guys.
