    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.

hey new GS1150 owner here!

I have a Honda 1979 CBX as my daily ride, my brother who is in failing health and unable to ride or repair his ride gave me his 1984 GS1150EF. Two plugs were off in the head back in 1997 and it was left in a tool shed until I picked it up last winter.

So this winter I begin my GS restore project I hope with the accumulated knowledge on this site you all can guide me through the problems I'll encounter.
 
Congratulations. This site and its members are a wealth of info and knowledge. Make sure to download the manual, go through the revised stator pages, Top 10 Newbie mistakes and search, read,up ask questions where needed, and post some pictures of your bike, as we all like pics. :D

Are you keeping it all stock? Please say yes, the 84 1150EF is a beautiful bike, I wish we had the option to buy them down here in the USA!
 
Welcome. I'm down in Cranbrook and I also have a few biking buddies in Calgary. In fact last year I picked up the '84 750EF that I have from a friend in Calgary. Ever get down this way PM me for coffee or a brew.

yes I'm keeping it stock as possible, it's 100% complete but there will be things to replace. I already sourced a new wind screen and put the old scratched screen into storage.

I was given an original service manual with it but manuals are written for mechanics which I'm not so I'll need help with translation into something I understand.

thanks, last time I was in Cranbrook was in 1979 coming back from Vancouver on my CBX.
 
This site, a manual and a bike, it's all you need. Welcome aboard, and post a picture when you get a chance. We like them all, even the dusty dirty ones.
 
Yes welcome aboard. We like pics.:) You might want to consider coming on the pnw rally if we ever decide where we are going. lol
 
Welcome to the site wyly. I build, race & restore 1100s & 1150s. Feel free to call me at 714.356, 784five if I can ever help you. I have been working on them since they were new so can tell you what things to address or watch out for.
Ray.
 
Welcome. As far as those pics go, I'm sure we'd also like to see your 'commuter' bike. ;)

here are my projects/stable, photo was taken the day after I retrieved them from decades of storage in my brothers tool shed. I've cleaned up the AW440 Maico to respectable level, my knees are to far gone for off MX riding and I'll probably put it up for sale this winter. I've begun to disassemble the GS I'm hoping the broken plug removal isn't to difficult for my skill set.

I'd like to post better pics but I'm clearly doing something wrong. Mastering this IT stuff is huge challenge for me, I need an EASY button! My daily ride, well not so much now I've switched to the beast behind it for the winter.

AW440 Maico, the restoration as gone as far as I'm willing to take it, I'd love to keep it but I'm never going to ride it so it's going on ebay this winter.
