    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.

Hi all. I have an 850 GS which ahs had some different forks put on it. I believe they were from an 1100 l model. Definately leading axle forks. Recently during rebuild the front forks have become very soft and I notice there is a small hole in the sliders of both forks. Should these holes have a grub screw in them or are they meant to be open. Sorry can't upload any pica at the minute but I'll keep trying. Thanks
 
Are the holes above the fork clamp? If so, could be compressed air tube stabilizer that the last owner removed. Fork air adjuster.
 
If it i sthe stabilizer is it ok to operate forks without this? Cheers Wayne
 
I have the same situation, GL forks in a G model, but brake carriers don?t fit...any ideas on how or if a brake carrier can be adapted to fit the fork, or a set of G model forks the only way to move forward?
 
Wow. I believe this sets a record. You have just revived a thread that is over eight years old.

This has been answered in your other thread on the same subject. If you have a G bike, you need G forks.
