    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.

    '83 GS850GL - Front Brakes SOFT !

    Resolution: I checked all the connection points - banjo bolts, splitters, etc. None of them seemed to be leaking either fluids out or air in - So I opened a fresh can of brake fluid and did the bleed routine on both front calipers (first I suck out the old fluid from the Master Cylinder) I had...

    You probably know I am Goldwing addicted - You can be too -- Look Inside ;)

    In my experience a well trained Goldwing rider can do quite well - even when hauling 900# ;) Goldwings require suspension upgrades to be the best they can be - typically they are undersprung and exhausted after a few years of holding up the load. However I have seen a Goldwing ride with Jedz on...

    You probably know I am Goldwing addicted - You can be too -- Look Inside ;)

    I was not clearly thinking and it was the only tool I had along to try to get the seat off - On MY Wing I can easily remove those seat bolts with the ball end wrench - but I suspect a dealership mechanic decided to ZIP them in with their air gun at like 400 lbs ... Lesson learned on that one
