    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...

Fairing question for GK owners

I don't want to reinvent the wheel so I thought I'd post a question re: the GK fairing. Has anyone been successful in eliminating the noise from the compartment lids? I reduced it by stuffing some closed cell foam between the panel and the inner metal piece but have yet to completely eliminate it. I was thinking of attaching some lead foam sound deadener to the underside of the lid but thought I'd ask on here first. Great fairing except for the buzz.

My fairing buzzed like crazy! The best way to eliminate the buzz is to eliminate engine vibration. I know from my experience I de-carbed the cylinders, adjusted the valves, and cleaned and synced the carbs. Syncing the carbs made the biggest difference. I now have much less vibration in the bars and less noise in the fairing. I can hear the radio again.:D I wonder if removing the fairing and installing a thin sheet of rubber between the mounts and fairing would work to isolate the vibrations. Just an idea. The fairing is only held on by four studs located behind the lower fairing panels.
