    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.

Hello! Just joined the site, as I recently purchased an 85 GS700es in Maine from a friend of my father for $500. The GS is in pretty good shape and I plan to do a small scale resto in the next few months. In the last few days on the forums I have looked over some of the restorations of these bikes and I have been inspired! I will attach a few photos below and hopefully someone can help me find the answer to my first question: What brand of side fairing is this? It looks different from the ones I have seen in stock photos. I am wondering if it was intended for a different bike? Seems to fit though... Any info is greatly appreciated.
 
Better pictures. I hope.

Hope these pictures show up. Thanks for the link Gatekeeper!



 
Pics are fine,that looks like a stock lower someone has modified to me.The only other lowers I've seen for these bikes are Locharts(sp?) and those don't look like that either.
 
A guy in vegas told me the lowers came on the 85 gs700esf. I cant seem to find lowers anywhere. Those resemble 83-85 gs550esd. Would you want to sell them?
