    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.

    Schott leather

    My first jacket was bought for not a lot of money in '99 (?) for $100 - $150, somewhere in there I think. Hudson Leather, Pakistan. Not the finest leather or fit and finish but a real riding jacket, removable liner, and weighs 9000 lbs. I don't prefer it for riding, it's hot in the summer, and...

    Whose driven on the left side of road? Any timely tips?

    I find it best to only travel on the left side of the road only when there are no cops around, and definitely watch for oncoming vehicles.

    Riding with Choke on? GS750E (New rider)

    Without knowing the history of the bike, it's possible to have fresh carbs and have O ring leaks and or cracked boots, and with all that it can still be cold blooded with a leaky air box. I had done my carbs, boots and o-rings and put up with a certain level of cold blooded behavior for a long...

    Brett, it is great to hear from you - - especially since apparently I almost didn't. I am glad you came through, that had to be miserable and scary. No guarantees with COVID, none whatsoever. We go Covid here for New years - both feeling a little down after Christmas, positive by NYE. It wasn't...

    "Report Post" button disappeared.

    Sure is. Maybe that gassed up stump water she was hawking had something to do with it.

    "Report Post" button disappeared.

    Is that the button that says 'Flag'? I don't see that or any other likely button there. I see the Flag button on this post. Weiahd.

    Top 10 Favorite Tools you have or use

    Boy I guess this thread's been around for a hot minute. I didn't realize I had responded way back when. A little update on my lists: I'll add now and should have added then: those little stainless clamp thingies that look like something doctors use. I've been using them for all kinds of jobs...

    Yeah hmm I sent a line out to Ray a while back to see if he had a 2.55, haven't heard. I'll probably just pick up a handful of sizes at Z1 before spring.

    Exhaust bolt replacement?

    Ayuh.... patience is your friend. I will just add that if you absolutely must break one, DON'T break one next to the frame.

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Looks like a great ride! Well I finally got my son on the bike and took him to Hot Dog Johnnie's today, our yearly pilgrimage (which didn't happen last year pretty much because of covid). He had a great time so mission accomplished. Boy he put on weight over the past year, thankfully he's...

    Sparking ignition points

    Points are less problematic than condensers granted. My issue right now is that I just don't trust what's out there in the way of condensers. If I really wanted to I could buy reliable substitutes from my local electronics store (THOSE are rare as hell these days too!) and try them out under the...

    Sparking ignition points

    Well you can't fix them but you can replace them, there is that. The real issue right now is buying new ones, waiting for them to come, putting them in, and having them both fail half way to work your first trip. Not to mention the scarcity of points... I found a pair for less than $75 finally...

    Sparking ignition points

    I hear what you're saying but right now at least, availability seems to be an issue with points AND condensers. Quality too.

    Sparking ignition points

    I've concluded that I will go with a Dyna S in the near future. I just don't see the point in staying with the stock system any more. In the mean time I've made a spare condenser out of two .1 uf 630v caps soldered in parallel to two alligator clips. If one of my old condensers go it's easy to...

    Sparking ignition points

    After replacing the bad plug cap, and replacing two plugs that had stupid high resistance, and finding some NOS points from Cycle Recycle, the bike ran, but like crap. Grrr... Just for fun I placed a .1 uf cap in parallel with the 1-4 condenser, and the bike perked right up! I found a decent...
