    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.

Whats up everybody?
I've been looking into rearset options for my 1979 GS750. Long story short, my bike is kick start only. I took the starter out, and put my battery in its place. I'm wondering if there are any rearset options out there that will allow me to use my kicker.
This is what Im looking at

Do you know of any better options?

The stock foot pegs are comfortable and all, but I don't really enjoy rubbing my feet on the ground during those hard corners.
 
I have to kick-start my RD400 and it's just a matter of folding the peg up out of the way to start it, and folding it back down after. Easy-Peasy!
 
An RD is a bit different then a GS though. Im wondering what sets will work for my bike.

Where are you putting your feet on the pegs? Put the balls of your feet on the pegs and they won't touch, Your feet just move up when the pegs hit the pavement and fold up.
 
I have my feet up, but its still not a comforting feeling having my pegs move around under my feet. :pray:
