    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.

Air filter seal for K&N

So my GS700ES has a K&N replacement filter in the stock air box. The foam seals on top and bottom are squished and don't look like they'll seal well any more. Any ideas on where to get some material to replace them? One is like a ring and the lower is a solid circle.

I dunno what sort of hardware products are available over your way, but I have used the self adhesive foam rubber strips that are sold by hardware stores as draft seals for doors and windows. That should work ok to place the squashed ring. No idea as to what could be used for the disc section though sorry.

Water expands when frozen. If it absorbs water you could try freezing it to see if it will make it expand back to it's original shape. Might take a couple of goes to get it right...... if it works at all.

Hadn't thought about mouse pads. Are they thick enough?
I have no idea what the original thickness of the parts are.

If they aren't thick enough, use two.
 
That's just crazy enough to work. When did they start making mousepads so thin? I went to big lots today and got three of them just to make sure I would have enough thickness.
