    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.

Hey ive had this bike goin on about 6 months now gonna ride it thru the summer and in the winter do a little restoration work to it i was wondering how rare is this bike cause i usually shave the emblems etc and if its a rare piece i will put it back as close to stock with just basic upgrades as possible it only has 26xxx miles and is pretty sharp i will post some pics as soon as i figure out how to get my computer to communicate with my camera thanks guys

Is it 16V or 8V square cam end caps or round
 
If it really is an '80, then it is the chain drive 16 valver and kind of a cult bike amongst the "L" crowd.

If it is a shaft drive, it's an '82-'83 1100GL. While still a nice bike, that is much more common and not as highly valued as the '80 1100L.
 
When I bought my 750L all the emblems had been removed. The PO filled in all the holes and had the bike repainted. I probably get more questions from people who try to figure out what brand the bike is. I would still buy a bike if the emblems were removed. I suppose the purest would prefer the emblems. If you plan on keeping the bike, I'd make it look the way you like it.
