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.

    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.

    What the ef is the deal with my flat tires

    I have the same problem with my 750, I contacted the shop that fitted my tyres and he said this was often a problem on older bikes like this because the shape and fit of a new tire is not the same as what it was in the 70's and 80's, therefore there is a mismatch that often leads to the tires...

    Protection for matte paint?

    They are among the high end stuff yes, it's supposedly hand made and all that. I've used their bike sheen wax on my gs and that stuff is awesome, great beading and the smell is addictive too :o

    My new project thread: 78' GS750

    Kerosene or lamp oil I think it's called some places is even better at removing old grease and gunk ;) Slightly ****ed now, I've replaced the sump gasket but still it leaks. The threads on the two boltholes up front are stripped, I tried to repair the threads by drilling them out and filling...

    My new project thread: 78' GS750

    Couldn't get it finished today, but there's basically just fuel and oil that's missing to fire it up. Then there's clutch adjustment and a host of other little bits that needs fixing, adjusting or tightening...

    My new project thread: 78' GS750

    Slowly getting there... Hit a snag with the license plate bracket which hit the rear tire, so I need to figure out something else there, maybe axle mount it.... Gonna try and get it assembled tomorrow but time will tell, and I don't have that much time...
