    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

One stanchion tube on my GS needs to have the nicks removed. Eating up seals...I thought that I had done a good job a few months ago. Guess not. What seems to work best in removing the seal-eaters? Thanks in advance.
 
U might also have luck using a buffing wheel and Rouche. Keep silicone on the stanchion to keep it from rusting further.
 
If they are too deep fill them with JB Weld and sand till smooth.
 
To get the raised areas around the nicks, would emory cloth work and then a thourough buffing?
 
Do it properly . You can get them straightened , ground and hard chromed for cheap,cheap and you'll never touch them again.Your local bike shop will be able to tell you who does it locally.Any other fix is bodgy and will fail again.Cheers,Simon.;)
 
Thanks so much for the advice and assistance! What a great group of friends.:clap:
