    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 Sizing and Fork Seals

I have been doing some maintenance on my 1977 GS 750 I'm replacing the front tire and fork seals. First of all my tire sizing for my bike is 3.25H-19PR which is calculated to be 100/80H19. But I would like to put 100/90H19 tire on my front end does any one know if it would work or has worked for them? I wasn't sure if it would fit without rubbing the splash gaurd. My other question is does anyone know where I can buy good fork seals and wipers not crappy ones? I have seen a lot of reviews websites for these and have not heard a lot of good things.
 
I totally agree with Ed. Having used just about every darn aftermarket brand seal made on various GSes, the only ones I've ever had that lasted worth a damn are OEM Suzuki. Some of those aftermarket brands didn't make it a week before they started weeping again. And I'm a nazi about cleaning and inspecting and replacing things in the forks when I do em, including removing any burrs from any pitting on the upper tubes, cause I only wanna do em once.
And because I only want to do em once, I only use OEM seals anymore.
