    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Are US lights permanantly on? Does your switchgear not have an of bit onit?
I usually wire mine up to stay on and someone said your switchgear doesnt have it?
Is this true?
Looking at gs1000s and gsx switchgear:confused:
 
US law mandated permanantly on head lamps sometime in the 1979 time range (not sure of actual date). When the law first kicked in the knob was still on the handlebar switch but it would not move.

I know my 79 has the switch on it but it wouldn't move. So what I did was unscrew the cap and broke the little tab off of it. So now when I work on it it won't go dead on me.
 
Just checked my '79 550 and same thing, knob is there but does not move.

As n1elkyfan says, it's really easy to modify it. Also, you can still order the other switch for several bucks if your original one ever breaks.

On the GS1100, that's not an option.
 
Was looking for a switch that had NO light off for mine ;)
cheers
