    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.

1100EZ helmet lock

Couldn't figure out where to put this, but does anyone have difficulty with the helmet lock?

One will open with a tug, even when it's "locked", but that's not my main issue. I have trouble reaching the clasp ring(s) on my helmet around the latch bar, and then snapping it locked.

Could the chin strap on the double ring side of modern helmets be longer than on my antique lid?

Once I do have it locked, I unfold the rear foot peg to support the helmet, but it's a real bitch to get it locked.
 
Just tried it - seems easier.

Thanks for the great tip! :applause::applause:
 
I use an extension made for helmets. They're about 7 bucks for two. It's like a "t" you put through the buckle and has a hole at the end to go in the latch. I also made one (for my busa) using steel cable a washer and two cable clamps. Once done I used heat shrink tubing so there is no sharp pointed things to scratch the helmet. Both work very well. As for the lock it's self if it's like the one on the rest of the gs bikes they are very easy to clean and rebuild. That might help with the side that a good tug will release.
 
She musta been really ****ed at yuh!! Looks like a decent Beating!!
