    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.

    "No good deed goes unpunished"

    Thank you for that. I didn't know until now that there was an accurate term for my own speed.

    "No good deed goes unpunished"

    I did not run any wires through them. The choke was clearly working and the bike started fine before he left.

    "No good deed goes unpunished"

    I humbly agree on the shortcut quote and I would have pulled the carbs out again if the bike had not run so well. I rode the bike down the street. The tires are 15 years old so I wasn?t going to light it up or anything. (I didn?t add that I synced the carbs on a four-gauge vacuum tool as well)...

    "No good deed goes unpunished"

    Last year I sold one of my babies to a guy two hours from here. $2200 for a beautiful perfect looking and running 83 GS1100E. I was sick about it but I had my eye on an Aprilia so off it went. He loves it and a couple weeks ago asked me to do some work on a really nice 82 he bought for $1K. Go...

    Cheap NOS Compufire stock on EBAY

    Mine arrived early. No fuse and wires are much shorter than the ones I?ve received in the past but the unit looks correct.

    Long haul bike shipper

    I know I've seen a recommended shipper for reasonable cost coast to coast or other long distance shipping of bikes but I can't find anything by search feature. Anyone?

    Gs1100es

    There’s an obvious difference in valuation from those who actually like these particular bikes and those who just look at them as another bike against the vast choices available. And that has to be taken into consideration because the population of enthusiasts is shrinking with time. But we’re...

    Aftermarket 4 into 2?

    What about this one? Sounds pretty nice. https://youtu.be/sOf3R1-Xm-Y

    Gs1100es

    For me, a lot rides on the condition of the exhaust. If it's really nice, it's worth extra for sure. A new V&H exhaust is $500 and so I'd place the value of a nice stock exhaust over that. If it's rough then that sucks because it can't be fixed for all practical purposes. I paid $1450 for mine...

    Gs1100es

    Values have been all over the place. A nice one sold on eBay two or three years ago for $4855 but there was one on Craigslist not too far from here that was very nice but required renovation to safe riding status for $2900. One of the members here, trippivot, recently had a beauty for cheap but...

    Gs1100es

    There have been some sweet deals out there but there have also been some funky ones?wrong motor, ?E? dressed up like an ES, etc. If you can post pics, the guys here have an eye for detail and may uncover something out of place?or confirm a good find.
