    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.

where besides ronayers.com can I buy the wheel bearings for a `79 GS 1000E? The $8.48 they charge for front bearings is a little steep.
 
Any good bearing place will be able to look them up. Relatively standard items.
 
Agreed on the bearing shops. They can give you what you need.
 
I went to a friend that manages a local bearing supply house. He told me that all bearings are standard sizes. He looked at the numbers on mine, went to the back and came out with all the bearings I needed. Don't remember the cost, but it seems like around $25 for all the bearings for the front and back wheels. They worked just fine.
