    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.

I've redone the exhaust system on my 79 GS850 but never looked at the exhaust gaskets. Are these the correct gaskets? http://www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=1596
As well I'm thinking of replacing my stock coils and ignition with electronic. Are these the correct ones?

I also want to replace the original handle bars with new chrome ones. Can someone clarify the correct one from Z1.

if anyone can think of anything better please advise..

Yes, yes and yes. Don't forget to order plug wires of some sort. You should either get supressor wires with non resistor caps, or coper core wires with resistor caps.

Looks like a nice upgrade over points.
 
The exhaust turned out fantastic (014804 DUNSTALL STYLE MUFFLER). Virtually looks like stock, a bit louder that's for sure but nothing too annoying. I also put on a pair of shocks from Robert Ward, the NOS Redwings with 90/130 springs from Progressive for $150 Canadian. They look perfect and they ride pretty good with one, haven't tested with two yet and that was the reason for the 90/130 springs so I'll have to see.
