    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.

want to try relocating clip-ons underneath the tree clamp, but concerned about removing what was the headlight bracket btwn the two fork clamps on either side.? Is itokay just to cut them out to get the clip ons around the fork?

Have adjusted the forks now by about 2" above the top tree and thinking about putting the clip ons underneath. The ride may alot more forward leaning but will clean up a bit more.
 
Remove front wheel and loosen the top and bottom triple clamp bolts so that the fork legs can slide downwards. Remove the headlight brackets (do not cut them) and put the clip-ons around the fork legs before moving them all the way up into the top triple.
 
Yep -- don't cut parts. You may want them back. Or at least, someone will very likely want them if they're usable.

It's quite simple to remove them properly.

Hey, while you're at it, why not have a look at the steering stem bearings? If they're original, you'll benefit greatly from new ones.
