    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...

    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.

Cartridge emulator install?

I plan on installing Race Tech cartridge emulators in my 78 750e forks this weekend, but I've never done this before. I tried searching for an install thread but I couldn't find one. Does anyone here have any install info or at least know where I can get GS750 specific info from?
 
The instructions that I have seen are rather simple. Basically, open up the forks, drill the damper rods, re-install the dampers. Drop the emulators into place, set your oil level, continue re-assembly of fork, install on bike.

Have not done this yet on my bike, but have talked to a couple others who have, so there are probably a few more details.

From what I've been able to find, I'll disassemble the forks, drill out the 4 compression holes to 5/16 and add two more. The install the damping rod, take a shot at adjusting the emulator, drop it on top of the damping rod, fill her up and drop the spring in place.
I'm going to pm AZR and see if he knows of a good baseline setting for my set up.

Report back when you are done and let me know how it goes, I am planning to do in the next few weeks.
 
I'm going to put off the install till next weekend. I forgot that I have a couple ASE test scheduled for this weekend. I'll let you know how the install goes though.

Done several of them, that's pretty much it. Adjusting and getting the oil just right takes a bit of effort.
 
Easy, just as descibed, excellent results. I have them in 2 bikes and they are going in my GS. It over rides adjustable rebound and deletes antiive. Still excellent. Suspension is everything.
