    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.

In the process of converting my rear on my GS 1100E to a Bandit 180 wheel and swingarm. The problem I had was the 530 chain rubbing on the shock when it lined up with the front. The only way I could get it to clear without worries was to add 4mm of spacing to the sprocket side. Sounds easy enough.....nope..the space between the bandit swinger allows for 10mm of spacing, so adding 4mm on one side means taking 4mm from the brake side and removing 4mm fron the front spacer. This can be done but it moves the rear wheel over 4mm out of align with the front. (not acceptable). I decided to scrap the 530 conversion and go with a 520 and a more narrow rear. Rob ( Katman ) Wilton hooked me up with a killer 520 rear sprocket and a custom front..should have it soon. The front is coming along as well...waiting on parts (always). should have some more pics later next week.
