    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.

An easy fix for the brake light switch is to cut the original es connection off & solder on 2 new spade connectors........ problem solved :)

Ditto!

Adding more text due to minimum word count. :)

Edit: Doh! Didn't realize there were already several confirmations on this suggestion before I posted. Sorry.

Any time Joe! The eBay seller I linked was very good and I had the switch in a few days. Just be sure to get the correct size and pitch. I believe the one I linked is correct but you might want to check since you have a different master cylinder:

10mm dia x 1.00mm thread pitch.

Washers Included


20" wire length with terminals.​



Thanks,
Joe​

Make sure of the thread pitch if you go with the hydraulic switch. The GSXR master has a different pitch than the GS master.
 
Ok so im bored waiting on the body shop, decided to hook up the chain and shine up a the bolts on the adjusters and mount the chainguard.

Looks GREAT!

Have never synched carbs, I have always had it done. What is involved?

Easy as pie. But you need a synch tool. Probably for what you spend on having someone else do it you could get a carbtune. www.carbtune.com

I bench synched your carbs so they should be close, but you'll still need to do a vacuum synch.

DAMN that's a pretty bike!

You have to at least hook some gas up to it and fire it up. You'll probably want to get the carbs dialed in too while the tank is off. I wish I was closer...I'd love to help. :)

Why no exhaust yet?
Click to expand...

I have to remove the centerstand to install the V&H, Ive left it off to give me a little more space to manuever around the bikes, but I think I'll throw it on this weekend. Discovered a leaky fork seal as well ( have the seals ) so that is next in line for now. Yeah I could use an experienced GSer near buy for technical stuff. The hold up on the bodyparts has been the tank, after he acid dipped it, it ended up with a about dozen little rust holes in the bottom. He patched them up and lined the tank, said he was going to finish it up next week. Appreciate the compliments Bruce!
 
Hey Joe,

Why not get a remote tank of some sort and fire that thing up! You need to sync the carbs with the tank removed anyway. Get the video out first so we all can watch!:)
 
You gotta fire the thing up !!! Iv'e been waiting also to get a few extra bucks so I can seal my tank, and then I can put her back on the road. Every few days I pull out the temp 1 gal Hawwain Punch bottle and listen to her run. LOL You better watch out you might get a ticket for being nude in public. Still a great job. Right now the valve cover is off mine (valve adj) and I started to attempt to polish it but I think I'm going to do the same as you and just paint it so I can get it back together,

How long does it take to paint body parts ?? I've painted 3-4 cars,boats,planes,tricycles,houses,etc... Just kidding, hope they hurry I want to see the coplete finshed project...
