    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • 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.

Rice Paddy Motor Cycles

I thought I'd take a moment to plug Rice Paddy Motor Cycles in Columbus, OH. They are a used parts / salvage yard store.
I stumbled across them on the internet and they had a tank listed as a "78-79 GS1000E tank" that looked to be in very good condition. Price was $325 USD.
I called to see what my shipping options would be.

Grant, was discussing it with me, & as he was handling the tank (weighing it I imagine), he discovered numerous pin holes. He said he would drop the price after seeing the holes.

Long story short, he put a very reasonable price on it that included shipping!
I also bought a steel front fender.

Also, I have a good friend, from when I was stationed in Germany, that lives in Columbus... He also vouched for Rice Paddy.


I hope you guys have as much luck with Rice Paddy as I did!


(Yes I know it's probably a 1980 tank)

Thanks Grant!!!!
 
I'm pretty sure Chuck78 is on a first and last name basis with them. I personally have never dealt with them, but he speaks VERY highly of them.
 
Yeah, Grant mentioned a guy that frequented this site when I told him I'd mention our transaction on this site.
So thats 3 people that I know of...

I searched this board for Rice and there wasn't much that came back.
So I thought I'd start a thread with their name in the title.

I will add some pics here when I get a chance.

I think I'll be taking the tank to the powder coater's (along with a bunch of other stuff) and I'll have him blast it first thing.
 
I should add that Grant from Rice Paddy said that the items on their website are only about 60% of their total inventory. So if you need something, and it isn't on the site, contact them & they may have it.
