    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.

    SuperTrapp installation advise:

    I may have to get one of these. The slip on is going on, some how. :)

    SuperTrapp installation advise:

    Is there such a thing? Where would I get this? I guess muffler shops do this all the time.

    SuperTrapp installation advise:

    This had crossed my mind. Guess I'll use welding gloves to install it then. :)

    SuperTrapp installation advise:

    I found that rocking it on and off was as good as the rubber mallet. I'll try the "aggressive steel wool" and retry.

    SuperTrapp installation advise:

    Got it separated, lubed it, and it moved another 1/8 inch but I still need another 1/2 inch. I'm now considering cutting the slip on splits deeper.

    SuperTrapp installation advise:

    I'll try to separate it and lube, as you suggest.

    Looked nice and smooth before assembly.

    This one is brand new and never been installed before.

    SuperTrapp installation advise:

    I'm installing a nice SuperTrapp header and slip on, on my 83 1100ED. All has gone well except that slipping on the "slip on" is requiring the persuasion of a rubber mallet and I still have another 1/2 inch of smacking to get it to line up with the hang point on the right passenger peg mount...

    Will SuperTrapp headers interfere with oil filter change?

    That's kind of what I'm seeing also.

    Will SuperTrapp headers interfere with oil filter change?

    Ok, just reach in there and pry them out, gently. I have new gaskets. thanks!

    Will SuperTrapp headers interfere with oil filter change?

    Those headers are split much more, down the middle, than the SuperTrapp headers.

    Will SuperTrapp headers interfere with oil filter change?

    Ok, yes, the headers are in the way but it looks like it might sneak by with them installed. I'll change the filter before installing headers and since I don't ride this 83 1100E much it'll be fine for a while. The bike came with a CH6012 filter that doesn't fit. Went to Walmart and...

    Will SuperTrapp headers interfere with oil filter change?

    I was afraid of that...

    Will SuperTrapp headers interfere with oil filter change?

    All, I have a nice, NOS, SuperTrapp exhaust and I'm wondering if it will interfere with changing the oil filter on my 83 1100ED when installed? Not sure I want to removed the stock exhaust if that's the case.

    Now if I can just get this left fork leak stopped the bike is pretty much ready to ride anywhere.

    New to me 1983 GS1100E

    After riding it with the 1000S fairing I've decided to keep it on the bike. I'm undecided on the looks, but do appreciate the extra wind protection.

    It fits the light fairly well, and would probably fit close to perfect if I tweaked the mounting a bit. I didn't have to modify anything, but maybe someone else did before I got it.

    I tend to do agree also.
