    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hi All!

So after many months struggling for parts in Cape Town South Africa. I finally got my 1981 GS450 into riding condition for summer (Southern Hemisphere). Next winter I will take it all apart and powder coat and ceramic coat the engine.

Not my style but great to see you got the carbs and electrics sorted out. Time to rack up the miles!
Jealous that you are in riding season and a lot of us here have put them away.
 
Looks cool! A it's a bit hard to tell from the angle of the picture but is it a 2-1? Doesn't look like a MAC...what is it? I like your leatherwork I made a similar pouch for my GS450.
