    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 to all i have a 1979 GS1000E i restored every once in a while i will fire into it while on a nice highway and yesterday i was up to 100MPH and accelerating i started into a high speed wobble started out gentle but as speed increased it got worse .

was a handfull to get back once i got below 90 MPH it stopped where do i start looking for the problem the steering neck bearings and the swingarm bearings? I replaced everthing on the bike when i restored it . but the rear swingarm does seem to have some play in it .

thanks in advance for your responses
steve
 
It's probably nothing to worry about...

LOL i did put new steering bearings in but my old ones looked about that bad
 
thanks guys i have new avons on it with the alloy rims wich are straight a new 630 chain to.i dont have a fairing on the bike and i also have new forkseals in it and holds air nice have been wanting to put on a equalizer tube on the forks would probably help alot.
but it does look like the culprit may be the swingarm bushings i can move the swingarm when i have it on the centerstand . where is a good place to buy the swingarm bushings ?
thanks steve
