    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.

My gs850L is from 1983. The gen cover is on ebay (UK) at the mo. I haven't asked the seller which year it is from. Any info will be greatly received.
Many thanks

I'm a newbie... but since I know I'm going to need a few parts I've been checking out the sites that have the OEM fiche online. You can pick your bike and check the part number. Then you can select a comparable bike and see if the part numbers are the same. That's what I've been doing. That way if I see something I'm interested in, I can check to see if it will work for my bike.

The 8 valve GS850 engine was developed from the earlier 8 valve GS750. The cover from a 1978 GS750 will fit any 79-83 GS850.

However, the cover from a later 16 valve (TSCC) GS750 will not fit.

If you're in the UK, be aware that these model years and designations may be different than in the US.

You'll need to get the part number or the year of the bike from the seller.

Thanks for the advice guys, I bid and won the cover and generator for ?18 ($34 usd)inc p&p. So I think she will do nicely. And if she doesn't I'll add her to the box of bits for bikes in the garage for the future.
Cheers
