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...

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.

Picture Needed of a R/R/Igniter Bracket Mounted on an 1983 GS650L

I picked up this bike last week in exchange for an old computer I had laying around. The guy who had the bike said it ran with a temp gas tank. The wiring in the harness had been exposed everywhere and was a complete rat's nest. I love a challenge though and decided to take this one on. I have a replacement harness on the way but there are lots of ground wires that are cut for some reason. I want to essentially build the bike back to a running state prior to any mods. I will do so with the improvements recommended by this site, including the stator mod, dedicated frame ground, etc. I've restored a 77 MGB and a 74 TR6 before so while not an expert, I'm OK with electrical issues. I find myself with a box of parts that I have to attempt to find a home for, back on the 650 frame and therein lies my first question. The manual says to swing away the battery box and the mounting bracket is right there, but as I sit with the bracket in my hands looking to where to mount it - there seems to be nothing to bolt it up so. Are there tabs behind the battery box that are supposed to be there?
Soooo....if someone has a picture of this R/R ignitor bracket mounted in their bike, I would greatly appreciate seeing it. I pics in the manual are confusing at best. They show great close ups of this bracket, but not where the darn thing is mounted.

Thanks in advance,

Geoff
 
There is a bracket mounted under the air filter box (do you have this item still?.) It holds the ignitor on top and the r/r below . The bracket looks like this pic

Ok...but this is going to hurt me a lot more than it'll hurt you...
The story is that I took it out for the last hot-buttered run before putting it away for the summer. I was being entirely stupid at the time and had to make a split decision to either swerve and risk rolling it, or to see my kids again and take it on the chin. At least my old lady got a new kitchen out of it...
 
Tom,

That picture of the filter box is exactly what I needed to see and that's what I'm missing! Thank you so much!!!
