    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Heya Folks,

I'm trying to find out the exact differences between the "S" model and the standard versions. I have had a basket case for a while now, repainted in the "S" scheme, but I'm just not sure how to tell if it's a genuine S or not. I seem to remember something about the footpeg position being different, is that correct?
 
"80" "S"'s had shorter exhaust & rear-set pegs, All "S"'s had lower bars. All "79" & "80" "E"'s ("L"'s not included) exhaust & pegs were the same. Of course the instruments & fairing
 
Australian S's were different on several details, such as the IP cluster. It's true about the 1980 version using reset pegs.

There is something about the SN too. I think the S's start with 52xxx (or something like that.) Post up the number and someone will chime in with the proper data.
