    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...

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 found some pictures of a 1982 gs1100e with wire wheels, anyone have any idea what bike these might have came off of? Anyone have a set of these?
On the site of the close up of the wheel it looks like it says "Japan MT300"
but i cant tell exactly. Im hoping to get these for my 82 gs1100e.. They look like more of an anodized or aluminum, not a chrome..

Given that the bike is using the standard GS disks, I'm almost sure the wheel hubs come from a 1st gen GS 750.
The rims have been changed.
MT 300 says it's a 3 inch wide rim.
Here's what the original front looked like with the 19 inch rim.
The disks are from a GS 1000 ST.

Yes, stock GS 750 hubs with aftermarket rims.
Look at one of El Gablo's threads, he fitted these wheels to one of his Kat's.
 
In a weird sort of way the spokies look kind of trick on the E

I think they look VERY trick.....I may need to look into this myself. Of course, spokes also look fantastic on a Kat so maybe I'll need two sets.....:p
