    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.

Hi

I've just joined the forum and already had helpful advice on what Master cylinder to use on my latest project a 1984 UK GS550e. I had a Gs550 about 25yrs ago and now seem to be buying all the bikes I had when I was younger.
Ill whisper this but my other current bikes are all Yamaha 2 strokes - an air cooled RD250, a 350LC and a DT175, this is my first 4 stroke since I gave up big fast bikes in the late 90s.

First job was to get the brakes fixed so after that, went for first ride today and it was great except now I need to go through the carbs as its running weak and spluttering (A kinked fuel line probably isnt helping:)). I need source correct tail and side panels then I intend to change colour to black. Looking forward to transforming it into a tidy black and chrome mostly standard looking GS

Im in London UK, close to the famous Ace cafe, saw a lovely GS750 there on Sunday!

Thanks for having me!

Welcome to TheGSR.

Okay, will not tell anyone about the other bikes.
Um, who is it that should not know about that?
Is okay with me.
 
I vote for the Blue as well. Why screw with perfection? Find something else to "improve"!

Both of mine are a more subdued Forest Green -- with spokes!

Blue is a lighter, happier, upbeat color, black is a dank, unhappy, sinister color. Can you tell I'm not fond of black bikes. Either way, Good luck & welcome.
 
On my trips I usually have that much gear on my rear seat rack, but I always leave room for a blonde in-between!
