    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.

Hello all , glad to be here . Im the recent buyer of a 1986 GS 850 which was in a poor state but all there . Totally stripped the frame and repainted , im just in the process of getting all the parts back on the bike . You will be glad to know the bike will be restored to standard and not chopped up into a bobber .
Reading through some of the posts im finding it very useful for reference . Hardest part for me was sorting the wiring harness birds nest but​ all done .
An old timer here and have owned many bikes from the 80s onwards but prefer the bikes of the 80s . Next on the list is to pull the dent from the tank and respray in the original black .

Hello im in Northamptonshire , currently rebuilding the rear brake master cylinder . The thing was seized solid as was the brake pivot arm .
 
Welcome steve, sounds you've got a good start on a good project. I don't know how much you've read around here but pictures are "almost" required, especially beginning and ending.... will be watching for updates.
 
Well, Got home from church, this morning and picked up my old flip phone from the bar. The back just fell off, didn't drop it or hit it on anything, it just fell off. I can't get it to snap back on, it's like some kind of tab, or catch has broke off, not sure yet. I'm gonn'a get somebody to look at it for me. If I've got to get a new phone I may get the new type and try to figure how to send pictures. We'll see what happens.
 
Hi and welcome to GSR. Good to hear you are well on the way to sorting out your GS.

Cheers.
 
Thanks for the welcome . Well the rear master cylinder pushrod thingy had seized solid so i bathed the begger in ATF for a few days . It came free with a bit of light tapping and the bore wasnt that bad but cleaned it all up ready for the new pushrod and seals :D Quite surprised the old seals were intact :eek:
