    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.

Painted my luggage

Your bike is really an eye catcher now! It looks fantastic!:clap:

I like the pedals you have on it, they could come in handy if you run out of fuel! ;)
 
Ha! They do look like pedals don't they. Makes for a more relaxed leg position too. Problem is if I lean into a corner too much, they drag. And they are too dang expensive to let drag. I guess I'll have to rotate them up some.
 
Great job. Great looking bike. Now the question is where did you get that backrest? My wife`s driving me crazy to get 1 and that looks like just what I need. Not a big fan of the tall Sissy bar but yours is spot on. I`ve currently got and old Vetter trunk mount on pulling double duty as a luggage rack. Makes it a lot easier to carry the briefcase and lunch bag to the train in the morning.
 
The backrest came with the luggage rack and luggage. They are all KG brand and go together. I bought all of it along with my Vetter fairing from a guy up in Michigan who was stripping a perfectly good GS1000 down the chop it up. Don't know if he ever did though. Hope not. Anyway, the backrest mounts to the side holes on the luggage rack.
 
Thanks for the info. i`m debating letting my son fabricate something and welding it to the luggage rack. He`s pretty at welding. He actually fabricated my grab rail for me. That was pre gsResources for me.
