    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.

    1980 GS1000S frame and parts

    Yeah the numbers seem odd. It does appear to have proper foot peg mounting bracket and shift linkage as well proper foot peg mounting on right side as well. Is it close to you?

    1980 GS1000S frame and parts

    Stumbled across this on the GSResources facebook group. Looks like a legit 1980 Wes Cooley. Missing lots of stuff but looks like a decent unobtainable stock exhaust plus the correct frame and rear sets. $700.00. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19Keogiueq/

    Cheap, but good, derusting sauce

    And grub screws in the petcock mounting holes to save having to use a tap to clean them out.

    A very Happy Birthday Trevor. A perfect bike for a young fella like you.

    Making a good one out of two good ones.

    Looks like it worked out very good Vince, good luck with the test ride. Always thought those old singles would make a great cafe style/retro racer ride. Is there enough good parts left to do that? With your tin banging talents I'm sure you could come up with something in short order.

    Actually it could even be a "G". Inquiring minds would like to know. LOL.

    Oh the irony ......they can't come up a better cooling technology for Ai than a 200 (or more) year old swamp cooler.

    Bikes You've Always Wanted But Never Owned

    I've owned both in the past. Both great bikes in their own way. Honda was a joy to ride, great motor, great handling, really comfortable, great sport tourer. Niggly issues with the chassis and suspension had me sell it after one season. Cam problem was warranty and was fixed so that wasn't the...

    Well fuddle duddle. Never heard of them until now. I did some digging looks like the 920 shaft drive might have been a US thing. I don't remember us getting them, only the XV920RH (chain drive) Europe got what they called a TR1 which similar to the 920RH but was 1000, 980 actually. I think the...

    The XV920 was not a Virago. More of a standard model rather than a cruiser. Enclosed chain drive rather than shaft drive as well.

    An XV920 not the Virago.

    That's is funny and so is the fact they never made a Virago 920, only 750 and 1000.

    Krauser Saddlebags

    Ahhh! Much better. Just a note to make sure you always lock the when using them. Some say their notorious for falling off. I never had that problem but I always made sure they were locked on. Possibly the seatbelt style attaching points can work themselves loose and locking prevents that. They...
