    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.

i just got an 81 gs450L off of ebay and i hate the bullhorn handlebars. i want to change them to something like the lower type stock bars on my sv650. these are not like clip ons but more like dirtbike bars. i'm concerned about the existing length of the stock 450L's brake line, throttle and clutch cables being too long for this conversion. i assume i should use the same cables from the sportier 81 gs450S. does anybody have an idea where to get them or any other suggestions to make this conversion possible?
 
Might want to try the stock lines before jumping to the expense of new ones. They are not all that expensive, but they should be available at your dealer or Bike Bandit.

ok

ok

i'd like to use the stock lines to save money but i was hoping someone here would know if that's possible or has done the same thing. the stock bars are soooo high i don't think it will work. i'll try using the stock lines first though. thanks.
 
Most people just use the original cables/lines and find a way to route them differently to take up a bit of the extra length. Be creative, and test, test, test, and test again to make sure they don't cause any problems, especially the throttle cable.
