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.

I was wondering if you know a good shop to send my motor to to get it rebuilt. Thanks for your help again Wayne

    I got the clutch push rod today. Thanks again! Hopefully I'll get the other parts I ordered this week and be back on the road by the weekend :)

    I'm interested in that clutch push rod for my 550. Let me know what you would like for it.

    Thanks,

    Ed, I bought the 1150. Are you serious about the wheels? Do you need the front end assembly also? Call me at 714-356-7845 & let me know. If so, I will give you dibs on it since you asked first. Ray

    Shorter cables are nice but not strictly necessary. My 850 has a 1000S clutch cable and a 550M throttle cable. Both are an improvement but again, not required.

    If I go to the lower bars do I have to replace cables or can I get by with corefully re-routing...any experience in this department?
    Nessism
    Thanks for your kind words kcolton. The bars on my 850 are Bikemaster Daytona bars. Less than $20 at various places. Great bargain.

    Hello from Cedar Rapids, IA! Ive seen your mint-looking '82 GS850G; I just bought a '79 GS850G and hope to clean it up and update it mechanically.I will post some pictures as soon as I get it to my house and remove the Vetter Windjammer fairing. Are the handlebars on your 850 stock or if not what are they?

    Actually, never mind - I found it! :) I'm buying a guy's 1100 pipes...

    Yes, yes, and yes :) ALL of the 8v heads (and i think the 16 valve heads except for the GS700?? but im not possitive) from 750 UP have the same head port spacing. So conceiveably, you can use a 750 pipe on an 1100G, and vice verce. The only thing that is different on the Vance and Hines pipes is the location of the rear mount. Now, honestly, you could even fab a bracket that DID NOT require welding, by using the existing mount on the bike, and some flat bar stock, and some bolts. Its not as tough as you are thinking it probably is sir :)

    Hey there - I remember you had mentioned that there was some cross-compatibility between GS850s through GS1100s in terms of exhaust headers. I just wanted to double check that we had actually talked about that and I didn't dream it...:)

    Hi,
    You posted on a discussion that it is important to get a direct ground between the R/R and battery. I am fairly mechanically inclined (structural engineer), but am new to motorcycle maintenance. What exactly is an R/R, and which wire would I ground to the battery negative terminal? Thanks!

    Nessim Have You Used The Ignitor Box Yet

    Hey, Brother. When you voted for the rally, you voted to be at Yosemite only. Is that still your plan? You might have said already in the thread, but i didn't want to search the pages for it. Let me know. :) Thanks!Bruce

    A few of us here who rather not get involved for fear of retaliation just want you to be aware that we were disgusted by how you and your clan treated one member who stated the obvious - that being a response to a seller's post was bs. We will come together to state same and go about our merry ways staying clear of certain people. Oh and we read your string with him too that was referenced. You were at him non-stop. I can't say of any us appreciate his words but under fire from so many I don't know that I would do any better.
