    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • 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.

LED flashlights

Rider magazine recently did an article on LED flashlights. A model they missed is the CMG Ultra Infinity Task Light. I have been using one of these for a couple of years now and I literally don't leave home without it. It's powered by a single AA battery, which means an inexpensive power supply is available from any convenience store world wide. It easily fits in a pocket. Shoots a 25 foot beam and will burn at peak power for over 10 hours and emit usable light for a day or so. The 'bulb', diode, won't burn out and the light has no switch to break; simply tighten the head to make contact and complete the circuit. Got mine from Campmor for about $23 USD. www.campmor.com www.cmgequipment.com You have no idea how handy this light is till you start carrying it! Note: You can find the 'Original' task light at half price but it is at least half as bright, too. IMHO spring for the $23 Ultra it's worth the extra money. Also CMG is really great to work with and stands behind their products. Limited lifetime warranty on this light!
 
Yeah that looks pretty spiffy. To have a light that looks where you are looking is the key when your on your back with a tool in one hand and a part in the other. Thanks for the info on this one Jim.
 
I recently purchased a twinpack of revolving strobe LED lights at Sam's Club for $10. They were originally listed for $25, and they're designed to be used like flares if you have to pull over to the roadside. I figured for ten bucks I'd toss one in each car.

I also have owned a 10 LED Lightwave 4000 flashlight for several years that uses three D-cells. It is blindingly bright and is capable of running for an entire month continuously without battery change or significant loss of brightness! It's waterproof to one foot (so a rainstorm won't hurt it) and it's completely rubber coated. Originally it was $60 but www.HeartlandAmerica.com sells "customer returned" units for $40, and there are several other smaller models that are nearly as bright.

The only thing I'd like to see is an LED light that allows for a more intensely focused beam. So far there are few that do much better than my LW4000.

Enjoy!
