    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.

Upsidedown forks on a GS

Just to let anyone know who wants to know. I happened to look on the All Balls site to see what the head bearings for my FZR1000 will fit and they fit my '79 GS850G. Who'da thunk it.

So, other than the steering stem being about an inch longer (you would need a spacer) you could potentially slip the huge upsidedown front end from a '90-'95 FZR1000 onto a GS.

Yea, I know. There is a bit more to it than just bolting it on. Hey, it's a start.

You could a problem with the length of the forks {shorter] than the std ones that can give ground clearance / handling probs you will also have to go with the FZ fnt wheel, this will be a larger section so think about the rear it can be done there are fork extentions to be had.
