    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...

    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.

1980 gs850 . Had vetter bags on that I took off. The only place I could see they went was under the little fender, but even if the bolt on the turn signal was long enough(it's not}, the turn signal would be hitting the fender, not allowing the fender to fit right. I looked on bikebandit at some schematics but that didn;t really tell me anything.
Is there a mount that goes with this that maybe bolts into the hole and drops it down some ?
Sorry to be so stupid but I just don;t see how they mount unless I fabricate some type of bracket dropping it down some.
Thanks for any info

thanks

thanks

thank u. does not get much clearer then that. seems I may be missing that bracket. Guessing they changed it out when they put the vetter bags on it.
 
The turnsignals will not fit even with the brackets if you have the vetter bags
 
bags

bags

no, I am losing the bags. I restored a 1977 GL1000 and put the bags and trunk from a GL1100 on it, so this is going to be my naked bike. I like the looks of a naked bike better(my opinion) but needed the bags for touring,shopping etc.
Hoping to do a decent restore on this, just may take a few years money wise. Time - I am retired so that is not a problem
 
I had the same problem trying to figure out what the heck was going on with mine. You can get those brackets pretty cheaply (relatively speaking) online.


Make sure you buy the little plastic pieces that mount into them and all the other associated washers and grommets
