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.

  • 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.

    Richard Hammond’s Motorcycle collection

    I'd have another one tomorrow. I knocked up a boatload of miles on my R80RT, and it had done a boatload before, in polis service. That's the one I put the R100 barrels, pistons and carbs on. Combined with the OE gearing, it turned it into a stump-puller.

    I missed the vote, but would have voted Eli anyway.

    1981GS1000G project to finish

    They might have been under a tarp, but they were still exposed to a lot of humidity under it. Just look at the rust on the cam buckets. Anyway, mind the door.

    GS550T Refresh

    Head and barrels? Yes, it's been done and made to work quite well by all accounts. I don't know the details, though. Not my bikes of interest.

    Stator, The GSR travelling mascot.

    That pic is being hosted by imgur, who have decided to be idiots about the UK Online Safety Act, by blocking anything to UK users.

    VOIP service help needed

    I was using one of those (or a near equivalent copy of a Linksys ATA). It worked fine for me and allowed me to use my legacy phones for a few years.

    VOIP service help needed

    VOIP in my case is piggy-backed onto the broadband wireless modem in my house. Two different service providers in my case. My VOIP phone simply plugs into an RJ45 socket in the router (or LAN switch, as convenient). I set it up by opening the phone's home webpage on the LAN and set the necessary...

    Why, you mean there's junk sold on shopping channels?

    '81 Fuel Hose Size?

    Just beware of buying New Old Stock fuel line. Had some a few years ago and it fell to bits after less than a year of modern fuel through it. Just lucky it happened in the workshop and not out on the road.

    seat step?

    If you really want to go off the back just shine up the seat with Mr Sheen and let rip. Careful with hard braking, too.

    Luggage Rack Mounting Points

    Pretty much the same family of frame as mine. At the back of each of the main frame rails there's a lug pointing downwards which has an extended steel strap (basically just a length of bar) bolted on to it, so that the bottom end is presenting a hole for the middling to rear of the mounting rack...

    Is there such a thing as a cheap Beemer?

    I never had the slightest problem with the final drive on my R80/100RT, and it got a good hammering, first from the polis and then me. The only wear item was the splined hub, same as the Zuk. And rear wheel bearings, it let me down once, but that was an old set still in it from polis years. What...

    81 GS650G - what were these bolt holes on the frame used for?

    Well, it depends. One complete full-length fairing I had was a rectangle of steel bar welded to the front of the headstock. The fairing bracket was held on to that by two 8mm bolts... of course, the bottom of the fairing had other brackets so the entire weight wasn't being taken by the headstock...

    1982 GS750T: Warped Front Disc - Replacement Question...

    The caliper mounting bracket will likely be different anyway. So, somebody fitted a complete front end off another model onto yours, by the look of things. Given that you now have 35mm fork tubes, iirc, it's likely it was a 450 or 550.

    I wonder if the designer was a NASCAR fan? Those inner and outer perimeter tracks would be so hard to resist...
