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.

  • 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.

    Is there a 'Tools and Tricks' type thread here? Could be helpful/fun.

    If your carb sync barbs are too short or your fingers are too fat use a 3"-4" piece of vacuum hose attached to the barb to thread it in then pull the hose off and then attach the sync tool hose. Reverse the procedure to remove the barb.

    Sorry about being late to respond but right now pretty much any time in July is a possibility for me.

    Whose driven on the left side of road? Any timely tips?

    Just rembered that in a car you at least have a steering wheel as a reference, on a motorcycle it's much different.

    Whose driven on the left side of road? Any timely tips?

    Once you've gotten over the repeated use of the wipers by mistake I'm sure you'll get it figured out. Have a great trip.

    Down memory lane

    I've gone to about 10 rallies in the west starting with one in Yosemite in 2008. Met lots great people, lots of great rides and a more than a few campfires, beers and tall tales. Even hosted a rally in 2014. And yes Trevor if you do something and the stars align properly I'll show up. Maybe even...

    1982 1100E 530 Chain Conversion Thread

    With the OEM sprocket the flat part of the sprocket goes towards the engine case and the bulge with sound damper goes towards the outside where with a flat aftermarket sprocket the spacer should go to the outside to make up for the difference in width due to the missing bulge. The question is...

    1982 1100E 530 Chain Conversion Thread

    I thought the spacer went on the outside of the sprocket between the sprocket and the nut. Would the 520 sprocket then not need a wider spacer? I'm talking about stock GS1000, the 750/1100's should be the same. The bulge/boss on the stock sprocket is on the outside I thought.

    1982 1100E 530 Chain Conversion Thread

    If going to the 520 chain do you know if the 6mm spacer will still work or would you now need a 8 or 9mm spacer? Just curious but I would assume the thicker spacer would be required.

    I used him to create my GS750EF fairing decals and he was prompt, professional and did a fabulous job. He will required some documentation to prove ownership and serial number.

    The END is near (California guys)

    Now that we don't have an acreage to maintain if our 25 year old mower ever dies it will be replaced with electric, same with our trimmer and as for the chain saw (sold the big one and just have the smaller one now) we've hardly used it since we moved 7 years ago but I do purge the gas and run...

    It's all relative. LOL. Way more comfy than a 2008 GSXR1000 and near as comfy as a 1987 FZR1000. I guess when one spends a lot of time on bicycles that would be quite comfy.

    A buddy bought one new this year. Thing is pretty crazy and will be crazier next year when he puts a pipe on it along with getting the euro flash done. Stock it is really stuffed up. With custom ECU flash on the stock bike rumours are a 20hp gain. .Euro flash and pipe should also be a...

    Definitely got lucky with my shot. We were traveling right to left in the photo and saw it quite a bit before I was beside it so I pulled up my paddle and coasted by. It stayed put maybe because it was used to some traffic or maybe because he was sort of trapped as we were in the channel about...

    Great bird shots Dave. Especially like the play by play of getting the Green Heron. One false move and you blow the shot. In Costa Rica last year I got very lucky with my Green Heron shot. Managed to float by, paddles up, in a kayak and he stayed put. Shot at 200mm equivalent. We don't have...
