    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.

E or L?

E model with an aftermarkent seat, I'd say. Notice the step is only in the padding not the seat frame (pan). Forks are definitely E. No L ever had the tail section body work. Side covers are missing. But this one isn't much of a mystery it's an E.
 
E for sure.

Not worth messing with unless you can get it for sub $500 - my opinion of course. Figure on replacing: tires, chain, battery, filters/fluids, handlebars and rebuilding the carbs and brake system.
 
Another giveaway on E vs L is the tank. Es are wider at the seat and the Ls taper more. From what I understand the VIN could say E and it still be an L, but not the case with this one anyway.
 
Oh boy, an other quessing game. Where is Leon?

Yah, I see, the chrome front fender and stepped seat might lead you to think its an L.

But, Like Jim stated, it doesnt look like the stock L seat. Other thing that indicate not an L is the plastic tail piece with tail light and plastic rear fender. An L would have chrome rear fender with the tailight unit mounted down on back end of the fender. So I say "not an L"

Some may say that its not and L becuse its a chain drive. But there were some Ls that were chain, And 550 was one that were L chain drive.

Say, Just, if you are going to get that... I have a Windjammer IV windshield that has been sitting in my utility room for years. Is a bit used/skuffed up, but is usaeable till you find a better one. PM me if intersted.

Ah, look at picture of the handle bars, cant really call them handle bars, more like just a piece of pipe or conduit.
Hey, I also have a stock 850G handle bar right next to that windshield, so . . . . . .

Plus a $75 buyers premium (fee)!!! Stick it dudes . Man, that sucks big time. :shock:
 
Nah, that's not a Kwacker seat. It's either a Saddleman foam and replacement cover added to the original pan or the entire Sadleman seat assembly. They were available from JC Whitney, listed in their catalogue as a 'sport seat'. As you can see, little on the puffy side, but looks a hell of a lot better than Duct Tape!
 
well thanks fellas i don't think i am going to get it i am merely looking for a cheap l so i can have a spare for parts.
