    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.

Centre Stand Rubber - GS 650G 1983 Katana

Hello,

My Katana centre stand bounces off the drive shaft casing. Being new to GS' I can only compare to other bikes I've owned. Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a rubber block on the bottom of the centre stand?

If you have one a photo would be ace.

So currently there is only steel and the centre stand rests against the shaft drive when I'm riding (the back of the stand rises up past the heel of my boot).

All help appreciated.

Awesome - thank you kind sir! So it should be on the foot of the stand. I'll get off down to my parts dealer as its bugging me no end.

And of course finest regards to Hants - Down in Oz now but have some very fond memories of trudging around the wilds of Hants (Worthy Down and Barton Stacey)
 
Go to any of the parts fiches such as Babbits, Alpha Sprts, Boulevard Suzuki..and look at the parts fiches..they wil show you were everything goes.

Hi Mr. Opa Neil,

This tutorial should familiarize you with how to navigate an online parts fiche: CLICK HERE to download a PDF guide for the Alpha-Sports.com site parts cross-reference procedure. But shop around using the vendors in the "mega-welcome" for much better prices.

Now let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
