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...

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.

Where can i find a compatible/bigger throttle body for my 79 GS 1000,
what are my options? any suggestions or ideas would help
Thanx
 
We probably need a bit more information. What type of modifications are on the bike now and are you referring to a carb or do you have throttle body fuel injection of some sort. If it is has stock carbs now and performance mods maybe some smoothbore 29s?
 
i apologize carbs, V & H pipe, pods, jetted, but i recently removed the carbs for a rebuild, and some one dropped them by accident and one of them got damaged, a piece broke off, i can take a pic of it when i get home, looks to be a drain not sure, having trouble finding stock carbs so im curious what other options i have.
 
You might be able to find a replacement here.
IIRC, the 1000 used a VM29, and they were position specific. In other words, if it is cylinder 3 you would need a replacement #3 carb.
 
My '79 has VM26SS carburetors, I think they all came that way. Ray

The copper skinny pipe that's missing on the top of the pic? What is it, and is it needed?
 
It is the enrichener tube and yes it is needed. I have actually replaced one in the past successfully buy removing another from a junk carb.
 
Ok thanx a lot, I'm on a hunt for one now, I appreciate the help
