    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.

    Dented 1000s tank restore

    Hey Chuck, if you sell it and get anything close to the amounts were seeing asked for here I'm going to request an addendum to my give away. Maybe you can meet me one day on your 1000S somewhere between Oklahoma and California and buy me a very cold, very tasty pint. Utah seems to be right in...

    Finished with rebuild of my 1000S

    Bunch of us West Coast members were on a rally in central California (Paso Robles area) in the summer of 2012. Doing a morning ride up in the hills, I was in the lead, a bit ahead of everyone else when I went up and around the backside of a steep hill. When I rounded the back I apparently...

    Oil cooler kit for 1980 GS1000?

    NESSISM: I'll post some pics of the instrument cluster tomorrow. STEVE: I like the UK suggestion, everything in one package seems the easiest way to go, but yea that is quite a big bite out of my wallet. But as they say in the UK, in for a penny in for a pound

    Oil cooler kit for 1980 GS1000?

    Any one have recommendations for a oil cooler kit for a 1980 GS1000S? It was a balmy 88 degrees here in San Jo yesterday so I took 1000S out for what was going to be its first long ride since being restored after a horrific crash. About 35 minutes in I noticed my Canadian temp gauge...
