    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.

So I pulled the trigger. 875 dollars for a 81 gs400l with only 16k. The only issues are a little rust. My question for you guys is what parts should I keep from my burnt out 84 400? The Only thing I want to immediately do is replace the bars, not a fan of this style.

I have some plans for the bike can your guys recommend anything?

1. Tank and bar swap with my old 1984 Gs400EE.
2. Paint the chrome exhaust...it looks tacky as all hell
3. Take off the luggage rack.
4. Paint the fenders, side covers black.
5. Find some way to replace that seat.

Hmmm generally I'd have to agree, definitely more of an E guy than an L guy...

I'd like a rack on mine actually but that one you have there is huuuuuge...

Can't remember what the E seat and tail is like, but maybe they'll swap?

The other option of course is just to do an engine swap....

The only problem with an engine swap is the headlight bracket on the 84 is cracked and the speedo and tach are broken and the brake lever is also wrecked.

Aaaah in that case whichever is the path of least resistance ;)
