    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.

Parts numbers interchange

I thought it would be a good idea to set up a parts numbers interchange post and make it sticky....

That way we can tell each other parts that we have found which interchange with other models (or makes) and stuff like bearings and seals sizes too.

What do you guys think???
 
We have tried to do this before. It appears to be way to complicated to do for most things. For example, the 82 and 83 1100's clutch is the same assembly, but the clutch plates change in thickness and quantity. The clutch basket, hub and pressure plate are the same, but they dont have the same part numbers, because of the different internals. This makes it complicated to figure out for sure, unless you are one that has had both clutches out and interchanged on both these bikes. The clutch is easy, because almost everyone needs to take them out at some point, but other engine parts (like tranny parts) get real complicated.

A few years ago I was looking for a replacement seat for my 81 1100. I couldn't for the life of me get an answer as to what other bikes used the same seat- to this day I don't know (other than the 1100 and 750 for 81 are the same).

Our only chance is to list things that each one of has determined by personal experience. If that's what you had in mind, maybe we can get something going, but it might take decades to get a good cross reference chart together.
 
by parts exchange I meant that it would be sticky, or maybe even have its own category with sub categorys for different models? Say one each for ALL GS250's, 500's, 650's, 750's 850's, 1000's, 1100's etc....?

that way we can just post our own info into the relevant category.

Ie: I know and can therefore post that the rear wheel and drive hub bearings for the GS750 (1977) are interchangeable with 6204NS bearings, for the genuine ones I was quoted AU$27.50 EACH but at my local bearing supplier I got the same items for AU$8.90 ea

That is what I meant.
 
great idia where is it going now??

great idia where is it going now??

sure that would be nice to hear what crosses over easily and dedicating a space to this sounds fine ......has any one found a solution or is this a dead horse now?
