    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.

    Sorry for the crappy photos (sun in the wrong spot) but we had our usual end of month ride to meet up with another group for coffee/breakfast. There was a memo I didn’t get about only Kats so I was on my 450 instead. Followed that up with a very fun ride through some fun roads around Mt Mee.

    dgates1 for me too... I also have a photo of one of our old cats sitting on my 450 many years ago but I cannot find it anywhere! It would've suited this round perfectly.

    I dunno, I sorta liked the peacock reference :ROFLMAO: Curious to hear your experience with the front brake. Mine's definitely feeling a little worn these days and most parts are now unavailable from Suzuki. I suspect that the hole for the caliper axle that doesn't have the rubber boot on it...

    Hahaha only since '96 :sneaky: First bike '96 Honda Rebel 250 I got rid of in '98 in favour of my current '82 GS450, and now have my '84 Katana I finished building in 2019. No bike regrets!

    1980 1100L 530 conversion

    Assuming the splines are the same setup as on the GSX1100 motors, you should be able to use the same sprockets as the early Suzuki Bandits. On my Katana I use the 1996 Bandit 1200 as the reference and typically buy the sprockets from Metalgear, and you will note they list the dimensions in the...

    1980 GS 450S

    Could be lack of fuel I guess. Does it start right back up straight away or do you need to wait for the float bowls to fill again? If it's proving difficult, the earlier GS500 carbs are a straight replacement, although I would recommend swapping the intake boots for the proper GS500 ones as...
