    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...

  • This forum is to be used by folks who sell parts or services for GS series motorcycles regularly, or as a business.

    If you are interested in providing parts and/or service to GSResource members it is expected that you will 1) keep customers informed on the status of their order, 2) you will reply to customer emails and PM's in a timely manner, 3) you provide what is agreed to in a timely manner. If personal circumstances prevent you from doing this, then you are expected to inform the customer before any transaction takes place. Failure to follow these basic business rules will force me to ban your forum account and list you in the Deadbeat forum.

  • 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.

I turned to the GSR for advice now that I'm in need of an air filter element for the '82 1100G I picked up last month. Went to Onlinecycleparts 1st

They don't sell air filter elements but I thought part number 6 sounded interesting. :)

FWIW, most of us shaftie people are running Uni foam air filter elements (NU-2436). The metal cage comes apart easily enough. You do have to make sure you seal the top of the cage with weather stripping, then give it a coat of grease so you can slide it into the airbox. And seal the airbox end caps with weather stripping as well.


And yeah, the parts descriptions are... interesting sometimes. For a long time, it was difficult to discuss your petcock troubles around here because the naughty word filter would get upset at the last four letters in the name of the part. There was a massive software upgrade a while back, and the GSR admins have more control over the naughty list.
 
Having owned a couple of GS G's with stock airbuses, I'm all too familiar with the age related problems that they suffer. Thanks though, for making sure I was aware of them. Interesting story behind my getting this bike. Short version being that I had a soft spot for it having ridden the length of Route 66 on one identical to it and the seller making me a deal that I just couldn't resist.
Have found myself working on it before completing my GT750 resto project. None the less, I am putting some time in on the Buffalo to help rationalize working on the G. :)
Thanks again.
