    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.

Cargo rack / backrest suggestion for GS750?

I'd like to add a cargo rack to my '78 GS750. With a backrest would be nice, but not absolutely required. I've seen a lot of third-party racks on eBay that they claim will fit the GS, but I'm a little skeptical. Besides, from the photos it looks like they mount with a single bolt.

Can anyone suggest a source?
 
KG was a popular choice 'back in the day'. To a small degree, they were adjustable, but the mounts still had to be within a certain range.

Not sure about your 'single bolt' mount. All that I have seen used four bolts. The front of the rack mounted to the top of the shocks, the rear mounts used the turn signal mounts.
 
It just so happens I do have a KG rack with a few adapters, a backrest / sissy bar, and a trunk. It was used on my GS1000E so it's liable to fit. Also still have the instructions I believe.

The single bolt mount racks appear to be meant for scooters or e-bikes.

I'll keep an eye open for KG racks. Thanks!

Would you consider selling it? I live in New York so it'd have to be shipped.
 
I will be putting up for sale you get the first shot. Let me get some pictures and details together and we'll go from there.
