    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...

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.

1457309673574.jpg Hello everyone my name is Luis I currently have an 78 Goldwing, 85 Sabre 750, Yamaha Radian 600 and a 2014 R6. I owned many bikes but never a Suzuki this will be my first ever so here I'm in this forum to get some advice on this GS1100L. So far I'm very impressed with this bike lots of power and handles pretty good. I like the stock look except for the handlebar and the seat those are the only things I'm going change on this bike.
 
Welcome.
Seat and bars are an automatic change-out for a lot of L owners.
I like some stepped seats, but I like being able to slide back more, especially on a long journey. The bars are just too much of a bad thing - whoever had wrists that could tolerate those?
 
I'm thinking on going with the superbike bars, but the seat is breaking my head, I have a solo seat on my Goldwing but on this bike I can't see or find any pictures of any GS with different seats other than the cafe look which I dont want.
 
Welcome Luis. I once got a speeding ticket on the Thruway near Newburgh....
My first streetbike was a Kawasaki LTD with similarly awful handlebars. Superbike bars helped.... a lot.
 
Got to be careful riding in the thruway if you riding alone, I got a speeding ticket last year I was going 74mph on 65mph State Trooper got me good.
