    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.

Ok, I need tech advice.

My twisted '79 750 project. I am looking at going with a late model gx'r rear end, not that big a deal. What about wheels though? If I do the 03 Gx'r wheels and an 03 swing arm, will the 03 front wheel fit the GS750 forks?
 
Search for gsxr swaps. There is a ton of info on the subject. Your 03 front end is a poor choice, though. It's too short and the bearings are wrong.

Check out http://www.oldskoolsuzuki.info/ They have tons of stuff on modifying old GS'e and GSXR's.....

One thing I'm really considering doing is keeping the stock forks b/c they most importantly fit, and b/c they are already dual caliper. I think putting a newer gsxr front end is going a bit too far when I can just valve and rebuild the dual caliper fronts that are already on there. I've talked to race builders in my area just doin the ole hangin out at other ppl's shops and they've all told me the frame isn't built to handle what a late model front end can put out. I'm wondering if I aftermarket brace the forks, and brace the frame some, will I get the same performance as if I spent the money to put a late model front end on it? If I stick with the GS stuff, what wheels can I use?
