    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"m new to the world of the GS, but it seems that people have been doing quite a bit of this. I just picked up an 83 GS1100 ES. My plans are pretty straight forward. I'm looking at USD forks, and newer swingarm so i can run newer rims and rubber.

My only major question is this: What are the best/better shocks for the rear suspension. I have some progressive shocks, but i think i'll be looking to get something much better.

Any advice in improving the handling would be great.

I have all the fixins you need. give me a shout and I can help you out with parts or answers. use the email address below for simplicity.

My bro lives in Mississauga and I am in Vancouver BC but grew up in Toronto.
