    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.

Does anyone know if you can switch out the 1980 GS1100E speedometer (which has that crappy reading of only up to 80MPH)..with the 1980 GS750 speedometer (which more properly reads up to 140MPH)??

More specifically, I would need to know if that GS750 one will fit in my GS1100E instrument cluster case...

Thanks!

Your "80" 1100 E speedo, should be flat across the bottom. This 750 speedo looks like it's from an "L" model 750, and not an "80" model. Everything had 80 mph. speedo's in "80" & "81". I can't think of anything that would interchange with the "80" 1100 E, except an "81" 1100 E or an "80" or "81" 750 E, that are also 80 mph. Hope I'm wrong, for your sake.
 
If the front wheel is a different diameter between the 2 bikes (which I assume it is), wouldn't the speedo be innacurate on the 'other' bike?

speedo interchange

I have repaired/replaced about four speedos on my 81 850 with ones from different models/years, all of which read 140mph. Mine originally came with a 80mph.
I have noticed no difference in any of them for accuracy - I have been told that Suzuki used the same ratio at the speedo for all the GS series (and possibly more!). Also, the round ones all fit in my housing.

The difference is in the gearing of the speedo drive on the wheel
