    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.

Can you identify the origin of this hub? Is this a welded stock hub or an aftermarket conversion?

It was listed on ebay for an GS1100e and matches the dimensions of my stocker and the steel and fiber plates drop right in as they should.

I haven't been able to find this on any GS parts diagram.

See pics on this link. Thanks.

Wow, I've never seen one like that before. Maybe a stock basket that's been modified? The inner base looks stock.
 
I believe that to be an older MTC lightweight unit. They were fairly tough due to the anodized finish. Yours has the heavy duty springs and rivets but the stock backing plate. It would work well in a hot rod street bike. Dar

Must not have been too popular, this is the only one I have ever seen.

The ebay description decribed it as a steel clutch basket for the GS1100e but had no mfg info. I don't see any markings on it either. thanks.
 
I think if you check it you will find that it is made of aluminum not steel. It was used for drag racing. Dar

You are correct.

I will put upgrading the backing plate on my list. Thanks.
