    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.

does anyone know what to do with handlebars that are slight off center? While unloading my bike off the truck my board broke and I had to turn the handlebars to straighten the front tire so I could back it down what was left of the ramp,and notice that the bars are facing a little to the left as a result. Any answers to this problem???? Please help. It still drives ok. Should I leave it alone or what!!

If it doesn't bother you, leave it! I rode for years with slightly tweaked bars on my 750. I didn't really even notice it. You could try bending them back, but that may break the bars.
 
thanks for your input on the handlebars

If you are sure your front end is not twisted, then leave it alone. I would loosen everything up and do an alignment check, just to be sure. If everything is straight (besides your bars, that is), then leave it alone.
