    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.

Brand new Ohlins SU143 shocks for GS1000's.

Is there anyway to still get in on this deal? I need a set of shocks for my 80 GS1100e, and although 450 is more than I budgetted, I can't really pass up a set of Ohlins for that price. Please let me know
 
Long_av8r They are here

Long_av8r They are here

Long_av8r,

Thank you very much. While there was a little wait, the transaction went smooth as silk. Arrived today with UPS ground brand spanking new.
Bad ,Beautiful and Black springs. I think someone else coined the term "functional art". That is not an overstatement :-D

Planning on putting them on the GS1100ED but it will still be a while. I might get impatient and swap them temporarily to the GS750EX :)

Thanks very much again.

You're welcome guys and thanks for the positive comments. I haven't had much time to get on the boards lately as work has had me running around quite a bit and the rest of my time has been devoted to family. So anyway, I did call and found out that the list was still being worked but I'm pretty sure that everyone who got a confirmation email from me has been taken care of by now.

If there are still people hanging that haven't got a call yet, let me know as you may be on the next list. As for the next list, I will be sending confirmation emails to those I have on it right now tonight. If you don't get one, resend your info as I probably don't have it. I say that because I seem to remember more people on this list but can't find the emails. My emails tend to get filtered a lot to keep the junk at bay and sometimes it filters the good stuff. Anyway, the people on the list right now are:

Robert
John
Lyn

Anyone else that wants in, shoot an email to longej (at) roadrunner (dot) com. Put the shock (SU143) in the "to" line and your last name. In the message body place your first and last name, your screen name, your contact phone number, contact email, shipping zip code, and rider wieght. I will send out confirmation emails as I recieve them - if you don't hear from me in a week, PM me and I'll check my junk folder.

An improtant note is that these shocks may be going up in price a little because we have to do another production run to make them available. Japan usually snatches up what we don't sell, but there is still an increase in cost we have to deal with. Last time it was supposed to go up too but it didn't so I'm hoping it doesn't this time either, but each time I get the same warning as with each production run price adjustmens can happen. Having said that, if it does happen it's probably not going to be a big increase - perhaps as much as $25.

So if yo want in, the next list is now open. Shoot me an email and get on it.
 
Hey Long_av8r,

Email resent. This time from my work account as I think my home email ate your reply the last time.

Just wondering if there will be any of the SU145's available? I've continued to save for shocks since this deal opened up again and I think I can afford the 145's now on the extra I've saved....

Thanks!

Jim
 
Wow, after two months of waiting.....Im not even on the list? Ok, lets try this again......I just resent the email again....please let me know that you received it.......

Chris
 
SU143 order

SU143 order

Hi Long_av8r

Email sent for 1 set of SU143's.

Jim
 
I'd like to get in on this also. 1 set SU143's. Email sent.

Semper Fi!

Rich
 
Okay, the next list goes out on Sunday night so this is the last call. Shoot me an email if you want on the list. I'll probably still be able to get some in the future, but this is the last call for this list. An important note is that the price did go up to $475 as I had expected it to - a mere $25 and still a good deal but if that changes plans for anyone just email me and I'll take you off the list - I understand how a lot of people are getting hit pretty hard these days so it won't be a big deal.
 
gday, long av8r, have not heard from your lady autumn, at ohlins, is there any probs, regards.
 
Waiting too - hope she'll call soon. My Marzocchis are leaking and the GS is getting a little squirmy around the bumpy corners!
 
So, I've been waiting patiently for a call for over 3 months now...I've emailed my info twice...I've been off the list for a couple of weeks.....and I see it looks like it ended..what happened here....
 
This order is still on its way from Sweden so you might not get a call for a month or so. I know some of the previous customers waited even longer than that. Also, please make a note that my email address has changed to verizon.net from roadrunner.com, the first part is still longej.

Chris, I sent you an email a few weeks ago and told you that you were on the list. I sent another reply to you today from an email you sent last week. I even tried calling the number you listed in the email and got no answer or answering service. If you didn't get a call from Ohlins the first time that might be why. Do you have alternate forms of contact? I'm not chewing you out here, I'm just trying to fix the communication problem so that you get what you want. I PM'd you my number, please give me a call so we can work it out.

Hi Long-av8r,

Are you able to organise shipping to New Zealand? If so, what additional charges would be applicable?

Can you confirm that the Ohlins SU143 are the correct shocks for the 83 (85 in NZ) GS1100G.

Also an approximate time for next likely order date?

Cheers
 
I can coordinate shipping to NZ, but I can't confirm the application for you. I'm sure somebody here can though so I hope they can speak up. Failing that I would say to contact Ohlins via email or phone to confirm the application first. I can start putting together a list any time really, but generally, we like to have ten before we order so that we don't have extra stuff on hand. So to answer your question, whenever we have at least ten, I'll put in an order.
 
Anyone able to confirm fit to GS1100G?

Thanks for that. I will ask around regarding fit to GS1100G
