    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.

Anyone happen to know what the dimensions are for the banjo bolt on a 1980 GS450E? I'm thinking of putting in a pressure switch and I'd really rather not have to pull the bolt out to get the size unless I absolutely have to.
 
Search is your friend....Here is an old post with a link that still works.

Personally, I just installed new guts into my front brake switch after it wore out at about 86,000 miles, and it works fine. My GS850 has stainless brake lines, and the lever doesn't move much at all. About two minutes of adjusting, and it works perfectly. $8.99 at DK:

:D They work great by the way....
 
got my switch the other day from Z1, and put it in tonight. For the 450 owners anyway, you might be interested to see the rats nest behind the headlight:

the orange wire and the white wire with the red plastic piece are the rear brake light switch wires. I didn't think I had any unsealed brake fluid, but after a quick search of the garage, I found a bottle that was still sealed, so I bled the brake, and now my rear brake light works like it should :) life is good.
