    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.

I'm trying to re-install my forks but as I try to put one of the forks through the headlight ear it pulls the little piece of rubber that goes on the bottom of the head light ear. I've tried everything I can think of to keep the piece of rubber in place but no luck. Yes the piece of rubber is shot but cant find them any where on line. The other fork went in without any trouble at all. Does anyone have any suggestions or tricks that will keep this thing in place? Thanks guys for any and all help.
 
super glue the gromet into the metal hole and apply a smear of grease on the inner surface it will slide right in and thr gromet will stay put..when you get the new gromets just peel the old ones out and clean off the glue.
 
Hey dude, guess what I found in my stash of rubber bits whilst organizing and going through the garage?? TWO of those pieces you need. They're not brand new, but a damn sight better than the one you showed me. Yours if you need em!!

Hey i wanna ask if you have any decently clear master cylinder resivoirs for my 750s around.. Both the 77 and 78 have that crusty white look and i tried some rubbing compound and a few other things but they are too far gone i suspect dont much care about the rears. just need two for the front masters..

Not the round ones, no. Though, I might have one that you will have to rebuild, in really good cosmetic shape, but it wont back pressure, so i think the return port is clogged up. I am swapping it off Roses bike for a 14mm aftermarket jobby that is better anyway, so when I do, if youd like it, just let me know

Sweet.. :D When would be a good time to stop by and pick them up?

I work at 5 tomorrow, so you'll prolly have to pick them up before 4 if you can. If not, we can figure something out. Maybe I can leave em in the mailbox for you or something. I would say just come get them from Rose but she'll be at school..
 
I could be at your house at about 4. I get off work at 3:30. If you want to you could just leave them in the mail box.

Have you tried flitz polish? It works great on old headlights to get rid of the film..
 
Thanks Steve. I already got the front end all buttoned up and ready to go. Just need to get my carbs back in and get the new tank cleaned out and I should be back out on the road.
