    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.

Gidday all,
I'm new to GS's having just bought my first one. A 1980 GS850G. I've tried to attach a picture to this post but couldn't get it to work.
So far it's going well. She's a good looking bike and is running fairly well. Just a few issues.
My first challenge is to replace the seat cover and get some new mufflers. Any advice on where to start would by highly appreciated. I'm hoping to keep it as original as I can.
Looking forward to getting to know this forum.

Andrew
 
For seat covers try Pitreplica. They are overseas, but you can't beat the price. Think I paid $79 Canadian > Comes with lock grommet, piping, French seams and Suzuki logo embossing. Order online from their catalogue. As for mufflers I had a sleeve welded onto the headers and bought Mac slip on mufflers. They come with a sliding bracket and look original.
