    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.

    out with jumper cables, in with jump boxes

    I wouldn't charge it in the car unless you were on a trip somewhere & the engine was running.... :cool:

    Dyna S vs. Chyna S ignition

    Yeah, I'd be happy altering those holes. I bet they are not that accurate.

    I'm back

    Good to see you're still at it Pete :cool:

    Muffler / Pipe - It's for a Harley but basically a generic pipe. Two Bros, Carbon.

    I have this pipe... Trying to clear some space. It's not GS specific but if anyone on here can use it then it can go for whatever the postage costs me... (from Redondo Beach). I think it would look pretty good single sided on the right bike. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134198720334

    Rear wheel swap

    Tru Value do fender washers big enough for the axle in their bolt section.... You can probably also order a bijillion from Amazon as well as being able to order actual spacers from there. I replaced some heavy steel spacers with some aluminum ones on a luggage rack recently. There is no need...

    brand new Chinatek ign installed/wired correctly, no spark on test light

    Probably a good idea... Cheap parts have their place but not in critical applications that could leave you stranded :)

    Old Bike, new rider, same ol' problems - 1980 GS550E

    Welcome to the forum. You're in the right place...! :cool:

    Rear wheel swap

    Should be as long as it’s the same size axle. You might need different spacers or to use the ones from the wheel. :)

    Help finding '82 650G Fork Tubes

    I’d be tempted to swap the triple tees as the you have the 850G and the 1000G as well as the 1100G forks to pull from. G forks are longer than E ones. One of those three might even have the same steerer stops and gauge location. Dan

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    For a more relaxed experience join AAA and have it inspected there… worth the 50 bucks in my experience. I’ve done it a few times now. :)

    I have a few sets on my shelf. Have PM'd you as this visitor message system is public. :)

    Gear Update Time

    Rev-it & Klim are my favorites outside of my Motoport Gear (which has held up about 14 years & counting although it needs to go back for new elastic & velcro now) or Aerostich are also well thought of but I've never had any (Nardy's love theirs...). I had Rukka for a while, that was good gear...

    Brake disc interchangeable between models

    The larger single brake model discs don't interchange with the dual brake ones and the oldest of the dual brake models (1978/1979) discs don't work with the newer calipers but other than that have at it... :)

    It's been a VERY long time

    Good to hear from you :cool: I've not joined that old retired guy club yet personally but I plan to as early as possible! :biggrin-new:

    Africa

    Please use your connections to get the Africa Formula One race going... Lewis will be most grateful. (He's recently said he wants to race one there before he retires & he's starting to get old!!!) :rolleyes:

    Swingarm

    It's been done on an 1100E by Posplayr & others. Have a look. You have to have bushes welded on for the shocks to connect to & some bikes need a convertor for the bearing... Main advantage is allows a wider wheel/tyre combo, not weight. :cool:

    TRO.bike "777" Tour (7 Riders, 7 States, 7 Days)

    On the to do list but not this year... Too many relatives with "big" birthdays and busy kids!

    Gel battery

    I prefer AGM over Gel from personal experience. They are hardier. Li-ion is the least hardy of all of them so far in my experience. I think when the actual storage capacity nears that of an AGM (like the REALLY expensive big ones from Antigravity) for a reasonable price then it will be the way...

    It's about time! (Pun intended)

    Yeah.. I've been moaning about it for years. For those of us who work internationally a lot it's a nightmare every year (all countries seem to pick different days to do it on too.....) :rolleyes:

    Thoughts about the website in general

    I always direct people from Facebook back to here... Facebook is an awful interface & only about 30% of what is written there really makes any sense (and most of that is coming from members here anyway...) :)
