    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.

choke lever relocation?

I put drag bars on my 1982 GS750e, and the choke lever (which is under the left hand switches) bumps the tank at full lock left. Seeing as it will have new paint soon, I would like to move the lever, or replace it altogether. is there a way to make it so I can just pull the bar on the carb rack? Its spring loaded, so is there a way to dampen it? or can I just remove the spring entirely?

thanks

Nate
 
My '81 GS750E has the choke (pull-knob type) mounted on the triple tree, through the stem nut. You may look into retrofitting yours to a similar setup.

Edit: I was just thinking, (it hurt), you could probably take a pull-type setup like mine, cut the cable short and re-bend the end, mount a bracket somewhere hidden (like under the tank) and have a totally trick setup.

thats what I was hoping to hear! I would love to just have it on the side of the carb rack, I just dint know how to rig it. I will take a look at a pull type cable I have laying around, and see what I can do with it...

Thanks!
 
Nate,
Any room on top of the bar?

I have the 1000 with the push/pull mounted on top of the triple tree, as
in on top of the center of the handlebar.
