    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.

Cant find a petcock rebuild for my 450.

I am having a hard time finding the correct rebuild kit for my petcock. My bike vin tag says 7/81 450 L, So Im assuming it is an 82 model. But it doesnt really matter because it seems like all the kits I find are for 83+. Carbkitcapital.com had one for an 81 model "T" so I bought it, and it's not the right one. (Waste of $20)

OldBikebarn.com doesnt show one, and if I go with Bikebandit or the dealership Im looking atleast $30 in individual gaskets. Anyone have a good source for a rebuild kit? New petcocks are $80, and Id rather rebuild the old because the filter is bent to accomodate my formed tank and fits well. Im starting to find out the 450 is the red headed step-child of the GS's...

Thanks, Jason
