    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.

Tire Problem

I just ordered a set of tires for my '80 GS 550L. Like a dummy, I ordered what I though were the right size tires for my bike without looking at the wheels.

I seen everyone here used 120/90 18 size tires for the back tire so that is what I ordered. Well it turns out that my bike as 17" wheels! Is this a normal size wheel for this bike? I thought everyone had 18" rear wheels.

So, what size tire should I order for the 17" wheels, 120/90 17?

I use 130/90-17

I have a spare tire from where tireexpress.com screwed me over. Let me know.
 
Most L models are 16" so you are fortunate.
 
I'll pack this one off and ship it back. The only problem now is that Dennis Kirk only carries 130/90 17, that should work fine right?
