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.

    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.

    Fuel tank rust

    I was watching one of my Saturday morning (the Mrs. isn't up yet :biggrin: ) car shows. They put 4 or 5 filters in series. When the first got clogged, they removed it & let the 2nd become contaminated.... seemed like a novel idea.

    Thanks guys for the help. It's been decades since I've seen a set of 29mm smooth bores up close. We have Keihin CR Specials and Mikuni RS flat slides presently :o

    Fuel tank rust

    Look at the results! Oh. I forgot to mention, I also made up a baking soda & water solution to neutralize the tank, rinsed thoroughly and put the shop vac on blow to dry the tank. Before rust starts to flash again, I used some 2 stroke gas but you could use diesel or kerosene to put a light...

    Fuel tank rust

    I used vinegar on my wife's bike and it worked great. 1). Seal tank, fill all the holes, petcock port etc. 2). Fill to the top with white vinegar. 3). Leave fuel cap unlatched to allow venting to take place 4). Leave sit for 24 hours. Agitate if desired 5). Pour out vinegar. Salvage for other...

    1982 gs650g lowering

    Indeed. Anything can be done. If you are of a... shorter stature... cutting down the seat might be an option. If it's just to change the looks... think long & hard as the chassis can become quite upset by slight changes in the wrong direction.

    '83 850GL Maintenance and other repairs

    I believe Motad is an European brand and likely more available over there. The Motogpwerks pipe on my GS is pretty loud, but I wear a full coverage helmet, with ear plugs and I find it a very pleasant sound!

    GSXR "DOT" head on my GS1100

    The DOT head came from the 88-89 "slingshot" GSXR750 short stroke motors. Called the "DOT" head because of the dime sized casting on the sides of the head. The DOT! Pic shamelessly borrowed from the interwebz. The head uses the same bolt spacing as the GS, has a smaller chamber, larger...

    Shifter pedal rod linkage adjustment

    I went through this with my wife's (1981) motorcycle. I put fresh heim joints on it and 90% of the slop went away. Of course, YMMV.
