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.

  • 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.

    1100G(GK) ignition switch stuck in Park position

    This also happened to me and the fix was to use a new freshly cut key, cut to the code for your bike. The key was worn down and not able to move the pins in the tumbler to the correct positions.

    I would appreciate input on LED head lights lights and accessory lights

    The Triumph part is well made and plugs directly into the 775. Your stator wires will solder onto those leads along with the positive and negative wires. It looks nice and neat and could be sealed with silicone if you wanted to.

    A new hater of sand

    Another couple of hazards are the rain slicked painted lines and the center area between the tire tracks when it first starts to rain.

    1982 GS1100gl project

    If you have access to a lathe with a tail stock, you can set the counter shaft up in the chuck and use the tail stock to get that spring unloaded. Works very good, easy and safe too. Your work is very good and is nice to see craftsmanship being used to keep these bikes going.

    '81 gs1000g starter clutch compatability

    You can also search for the crank assembly and some of them have the rotor and starter clutch still attached. But there is a lot of extra cost for shipping that way. They can be welded, but how true they will be afterwards depends on the type of welding used.

    1980 gs1000g starter clutch

    For those people who need to repair a damaged starter clutch that has had the pins blown out or denting the formed metal piece that is dimpled to hold it in place.
