    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.

82 gs850l shocks

I have add a seat hoop to my 82 gs850l. Then this last year I shortened it up by fabricating a new sub frame or complete rear seat area. To get the stance I would like I may have to increase the length of the OEM shocks a little. Either that or cut I apart and redo it at a slitely different angle or possible weld new tabs on the swing are alittle more forward, this actually may be the plan . In the mean time I thought I saw it that hagon offered longer shocks, though there site has been under construction for some time now. Anyways is there a site that offers longer shocks for my bike?
 
Hagon and Progressive 12 series shocks are worth a look as well. With Progressive, you have to poke around a bit, but you can get 12 series shock bodies in 13.5" and 14.25" lengths eye-to-eye (stock is 13", 330mm), then pair them with appropriate springs. Hagons are built to order.
