    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.

When I first got my L it was quite uncomfortable. I'm 6'1 and my arms and legs didn't have enough room. I couldn't extend my arms far enough out. Changed the bars to gs750 bars, put on a G tanks which pushed back the seat to give me more room. It was kind of a hassle to figure out the mounting of the G tank and getting the seat mounted farther back on the frame, but it was worth it. Now it is very comfortable.​

Scudder
 
Posted some of my 81 550 just pulled out of buddies barn and in need of work. now here is my rider, 81 750. Poor bike. If i was road as hard as it is i would have a even bigger smile.

I have the sissy bar that goes with KG rack and crash bars just not installed now. the crash bars will go back on for fall time as too many deer around the roads i like best.
 
Have you got a close up of the chick throwing lightning bolts?

I think I know her.
 
Hey Camero...How are those rear shocks? I saw them on e bay, obviously they are sharp looking, but hows the quality/performance?
Surprisingly low cost.....had me curious if they were any good.
btw....very nicely done bike. good taste, well executed.
 
Thanks guys. The shocks are pretty good. I'm happy with them. Way better than the worn out stockers and cool looking too.
 
Here's my 82 GS850GLZ. I rescued it from the squirrels and spiders where it sat in a hardwood thicket for 4 years. It runs great but still needs the failed liner cleaned from the original tank. Using an older tank for now. The handlebars were the first things I swapped out. It'll be up for sale soon.
