    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.

Rear Brake Pedal

So, I'm pretty sure I have asked this but I cannot find it at all. I have a funky doglegged brake pedal on the 425. I'm having a heck of a time finding a replacement as the PO or PPO or HMO tried to "weld" a new pad on the pedal after a suspected wreck. Does the shape and angle of the pedal have to be the same or can I just throw any one on there? Apparently, this pedal was only used on the 77-78 400 and the GS425.

If your current pedal has been butchered, I would not worry about trying to match it, but, yes, there is a shape to the arm that is supposed to work. Not all GSes have that same shape. Some have different bends, others simply have a different length, but you should get what is supposed to be on your bike.

Funny... I just welded a new pad onto my brake pedal today. The pad came off of a Virago and the pedal is from my GS450.
