    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 bought headlamp brackets from an early 90ies gs500 and want to use it on my '79 gs750e. The bracket is made for 37mm rods and I have 35mm.

I'm thinking I can wrap 1mm duct tape around the chrome rods, but it might not look so good. Does anyone have a better idea?

I have modified ears by cutting the rings and added extensions to fit larger stantions. U might not want to weld on those ; they look nice.

Other option is to put a sleeve of thin PVC (entire length between the ears) NOT the schedule 40 stuff. It is probably too thick. You can cut a length wise slit as well to get it to the correct ID. You can color/dye/paint it. Black liquid shoe polish works.

Not sure is you did little rings just under the rubber if they would stay in place
