    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.

Hello! This is my Suzuki. It's all original from 1985.
New piston Rings
Carb Rebuild
New air and oil filter
New spark plug Dr8es
Checked valve timing

My idea is to mount the dash closest to the handlebars and mount supports for the front headlight. Give me some advice on how to do it?

 
Caio akronos and welcome!

Beautiful bike! Glenn (Dorkburger) should be around shortly...he loves those bikes!

Interesting headlight set up.

Welcome...
Yes, this is the same Dorkburger (Glen) over at OSS.
May be a bit of a tough find, but a complete E setup for the lights and gauges would be easiest. Be aware that the big headlight setup is not cheap, and is sought after by GS fans and apparently Kawasaki ZRX Guys...

i *think* the gauge cluster is the same with minor differences - the E mounting bracket attaches the cluster to the top yoke, and E cluster does not have the slots in the side that the ES does for its fairing mount. If you can get a hold of an E bracket and live with the slots you may be set. Confirm first though..... This assumes that you want to stay fairly close to a stock look. If you want custom or to fab things, it’s wide open...
