    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.

    Fairing For Sale

    Not the only one, too. I wish they'd stop sneakily spamming and just man up with a donation to the site - getting some credit for that and generate goodwill. As it stands, their marketing technique just makes me want to NOT buy anything from them.

    "Where Do These Hoses Go" updated pics?

    From what I recal of my original fuel vent hoses, they were bundled together and exited just ahead of the rear wheel. They would have been down between the original side pipes and well away from them. Which doesn't seem all that sensible, getting a gush of fuel on the rubber, in a bend.

    REAL MEN Work

    It would be much more environmentally friendly if ships were made of wood, again. Just let them return to nature, as nature intended. Can you imagine the size of the tree the dug-out canoes would be?

    Replacement tank for GSX550ES?

    Your best bet is find a friendly boneyard where you can rummage around and find something that fits. You might find a CX500 tank will fit, for example.

    1979 GS1000 idles fine but races when the throttle is twisted

    Carbs can be bench synced absolutely fine, but the engine can run like a sack of sadness until the vac gauges are on it. Rule of thumb - if you ever disturb the carbs, put the gauges on them. There are idiots out there who will tell you it's not necessary. Ignore them, they are braying asses.

    Coffee withdrawals

    I had blinding headaches from drinking too much coffee in work, almost exactly 40 years ago. It was that which set me on to being a habitual tea drinker, although coffee ceased to bother me, even when I was going at it full tilt a couple of years ago. Not sure if it was the particular coffee the...
