    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.

    Maybe the most "cobbled-together" bike I have ever purchased!

    There is a chance I have some turn signals (or at least the plastic lenses) and a center stand for you… I may also have some headlight brackets. I think the 1100 was the one that used the 9” light. :cool:

    Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk

    Got some pics? :cool: As KikDrum18 has been kind enough to share a file for his brackets after tweaking if there is demand I might get a few of the brackets made up. This has been done by collaboration before but I’ve never had someone come back at the end and give me a final bracket...

    Maybe the most "cobbled-together" bike I have ever purchased!

    Also has a plastic front fender off an 1100. There’s no way that was ever an L. All the parts are wrong and wouldn’t fit an L frame. If the Title says L I think you got what the UK call a “ringer” (where a VIN number is taken from a wreck and placed on a stolen or untitled frame in order to use...

    Hello, Dolly!

    My mate used one. It worked ok. Better on the sidestand than the centrestand. More stable.

    Lane splitting and other things wrong

    Quite often see 3 cop cars parked up with lights on, 2 kids & a skateboard on the side of the road...... :) To be honest if it was any of us personally who needed them, you'd want them to send the 20 cars I suppose! The other side of this is that they mandate "no follow" and then they get even...

    Aftermarket start/killswitch

    Yeah the right side is pretty simple. Just an on/off rocker & a momentary press switch. Be careful not to pinch the wires when it goes back together, pretty easy done & will blow a fuse every time you hit the starter....

    Aftermarket start/killswitch

    You definitely can… as long as you wire it up right. :) I think Mikes XS has some nice looking retro ones. You need something pretty simple obviously and something with a throttle tube that will work on our 7/8” bars. :cool:

    Krauser Saddlebags

    Yeah that looks like what I had on the 1000G. Setup looks about right. Mine had stock turn signals with shortened stems that I believe were supplied with the cases when new. Great set of bags. :)

    maybe that comes from location… I think some of the poster bikes are different over there.:)

    2025 World Series - Dodgers and Blue Jays

    At least at cricket you can wander around, get a decent beer, pie or pasty or something without missing anything as it’s SO slow… Baseball is a different animal! in essence I agree though, I wouldn’t choose to go to either!

    2025 World Series - Dodgers and Blue Jays

    My local team… lots of excitement here in LA I’m sure but I struggle to be interested in Baseball. Too slow for me!

    Small world that series exists in… :p :-\\\

    I don’t care what he said really… I’m jealous every which way :-\\\:rolleyes: :cool: I guess this piece is mostly for the cage enthusiasts (or the crossover ones of which I’m a member so it doesn’t matter too much if he’s 100% correct or not). I think what he was trying to say was that was...

    Definitely Top Gear and the "Grand Tour" as well as all the spin-off shows. I expect Drivetribe makes a decent amount nowadays too.... Yeah it's strange listening to someone pronounce the alphabet properly innit.... :p;):cool:

    1978 GS750 tires & suspension advice / input

    Shinko 805’s work great if you might occasionally hit gravel. They are very competent on the road too in my opinion and price is good. 15w sounds quite high unless you’re quite porky…. Racetech emulators make a difference if you can afford it. :cool:

    Stator, The GSR travelling mascot.

    I’m envious of those guys too…. I’ve still got some time to hit 50 with my first kid about to hit college in a year or so and another to go as well. Be a while before I get there! :rolleyes: I’m glad he’s got all his stuff back! Well done Steve! :)

    gs650e Stator + R/R issue

    Seems like you have a short somewhere in that circuit. As you’ve disconnected the wires that go to headlight switch (if you have it) then perhaps you’ve been into that hand control and pinched a wire or something? otherwise look for frayed wires in the headlight bucket and also broken wires at...
