    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.

Can you recomend a good softish front brake pad for my GS1000G The discs are like new (and clean) but the stopping power is crap Not bothered about life expectancy of the pads as don't do many miles a year Has new brake fluid and hoses
 
Look for some EBC pads, braided lines also helps but the stopping power will always be somewhere towards "crap" no matter what. Some of us fit twinpots with CBR discs - see link to the big thread in my signature.

Assuming you have a 1980 or later GS1000G...
Grab a set of Carbon Lorraine pads and bed them in properly.
You'll be surprised what a set of 40 year old brakes can do.

If you have a '79 bike it might have the little round pads - they're just crap, no matter what you do.
