    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.

ok the first 450L i was looking at got to be to much $ for the cosmetics of the bike. Here is the story of the second. Cosmetic wise great. rebuilt carb and tune up. motor was ran without oil. it still doesn't leak oil or gas and will start and run. however it has a loud knock from the bottom end and will only rev to about 3,500 rpms. My ? is it fixable and how muck would it cost. and will i be able to get the parts. Thanks for everyones help
 
its hard to say if it's fixable, it would depend on what is wrong. as far as parts, i'm pretty sure most here would say it'd be easier to just buy a running motor and swap.
also cheaper. if something is clunking in the bottom end, it could be rods, the crank, any number of bearings.. you are looking at the very least machine work and replacement parts.
 
thanks for the reply. my wife whent out and got me a 1977 xs750 d2 "triple" for fathers day. her and my girls gave me a card with the picture on it when i got home from work tonight. i did like the 450l but this was really cool.
 
If she will let you keep the L also (Tell her you are fixing it for HER!) you can buy a GS 500 late model motor & BOLT it right in! Ray.
