    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 someone show me a pic of the correct rear turn signal mounting on a Gs/G?

My recent purchase - '80 GS850Gt - was somewhat hacked by the PO{s}, so I'm trying to re-do her correctly. One of the things is the mounting of the rear turn signals on my bike - at the moment both rear turn signals are mounted on via an elongated U bracket, which is bolted on where the plate is mounted. I've seen exploded views, but those don't show an assembled view and can be vague.
Can anyone either direct me to a close up view or snap a pic of their bike so I can see how they go on?
Sounds hokey, I know, but the way it is isn't right and I want to fix it.
Thanks.
 
There is a tab that bolts to the end of the frame rail, the turn signal attaches to that tab.

On the parts fiche, the tabs are #23 and #24 (they are side-specific).

That explains it better. I saw a tab each side but couldn't easily figure out where it mounted. Now I also see how the center stand grab handle mounts inside the shock - not outside. {missing both tabs and the grab handle on mine}
Thanks folks - that helps a lot!

Vmass- that was a clean bike!
