    Welcome!

    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Anyone Know a Good Head Shop?

As the average age of GSR members is close to 50YO, I cannot possibly be the only one that was not born last night and has a question about why Ed even posted such a thread question here in the first place.
After all, with a trusted/honest/motorcycle expert/friend living within driving distance from him, why doesn't he just take it there????? Why the post??? Think about it.

I believe he was looking for someone local to his client in the Northeastern US, unless I read Ed's post incorrectly.
 
Here is my garage.

Eric has been banned yet again.

Most of the unsocial behavior we see comes from the Off Topic section. It is rare that one person exerts a negative influence in all corners of the GSR forum--OT, tech threads, travel threads, general discussion.

We all know that he will be back. Please keep watch and report when you spot him.

For the record: Ray just did a bunch of major work for me and his prices/communication were great the entire time... Check the projects/rebuilds section for my GS1000 restoration thread.

On the surface, the work looks great - I will give the final report once the engine is back together and running!

Cheers, Ray :D
 
Stupid is as stupid does...

Welcome back Bruce... I'm glad at least someone can trigger a response from you! :-s

I'm very surprised to see you comment on a thread related to people upholding their end of a deal on this forum... Not one of your strongest subjects in my unfortunate experience! :(

I just got my 80 1100 head back form APE. I originally sent the head to a shop that "specialized" in GS heads. After spending way to much money I learned from APE that the valves were slightly bent and needed grinding. I also had to have it resurfaced due to a low spot between cylinder 2 and 3. Long story short APE has the most affordable prices and they do the best work. Not to mention their customer service is A+. I also had them build a GSXR 1100 head that I am very happy with.
(Ignore the missing hardware)
