    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.

OK, I have decided to do a caf? style bike out of a 1981 Suzuki gs1100. I am going along fine, but I have ran into a bit of trouble when it comes to lowering the front end of the bike. I took the triple trees lose. As I was doing so I noticed the air valves. I have lowered a couple bike and it was as easy as sliding the forks up through the triple trees. Not this bike. I Have never had any dealing with forks like these. Any help with how to go about lowering the front 2 to 3 inches would be great.

Just plug up the air holes in the forks. Install some straight rate springs from Sonic springs and a good fork oil. A set of Cartridge emulators would be great as well. No need for the air any longer.
