    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.

just picked up an '81 GS1000G that needs a little love. One thing, it's missing it's battery. Someone here directed me to a place selling sealed batteries when I needed one for my GS850G, and I can't remember the place. The battery was yellow, and worked great. Does anyone know the website for it? Also, what battery the 1000 takes?
 
Don't know about any "yellow" batteries, but you can get them just about anywhere from Auto Zone to Pep Boys to Wal-Mart to Batteries Plus.

The model you are looking for is 14L-A2 or 14L-B2. If you go to Batteries Plus, spring for the best one, the X2 15L. Not cheap, but the best one I have found.

I have five GS shafties here that all use the same battery, including an '80 1000 that is similar to yours, so we have a bit of experience with batteries. :rolleyes:

I'll assume the yellow battery you are referring to is the Motobatt AGM style. Check Amazon for some good deals but order from the dealer (make sure you reference their Amazon deal since some sell cheaper on there).
 
Anyone see the Golden Dragon AGM battery on Ebay 43.00 shipped?
Any opinions? (sorry no link)
I have the Motto yellow battery but need another.
 
Thanks much for the info. Motobatt was the battery I was trying to find. I ordered an AGM from Batteries Plus for 71.95 delivered. The Motobatt was a little cheaper from Amazon, but I couldn't use paypal funds.
 
I just got a Motobatt through Amazon for my 82 850 for 63 bux shipped.
