    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.

Rider position

I have a GS 650G. I find the foot control placement uncomfortable. Has anyone ever taken a GS engine and put it into a Cruiser style frame? I was thinking along the lines of a Harley Style frame, it would (it seems) allow for the engine to be moved forward 4-8 inches. This would be a more comfortable position for tall riders like me 6'4".

Any thoughts on this.

Position huh? I've always preferred the bike on the bottom, rider on top arrangement.

What you want is an L model, which is the cruiser. I don't think they made a 650L, but did in the bigger bikes- check the for sale forum

By the way, I'm 6'4" and love the riding position on my 78Gs100C - maybe you should try lower handlebars

I too am over 6 ft. I find the riding position on my 79 GS850 preferable to the position offerred on the various Harley's I have ridden.
However I am sitting behind a Hannnigan Fairing.
Ride em hard and put em away wet..... :wink:
