    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.

I've been wearing mine for over a year and they are excellent except for the buttons. These things are pants but on the outside there are zippers and buttons so that you can put them on with your boots on. You cut them to length which is nice but I recommend repairing the stitching you cut or the pants will unravel. I recommend cutting them in such a way that the cut is just above a pair of buttons so that the extra 2" of leather below the next button can spread out and cover the laces on your boots. This keeps the wind from blowing up your pants and keeps water out of your boots.

I've worn them through two winters now and have had them so mucked up with salt that they've been white up to my knees. All I do is lay them out on my bed and whipe them off with a wet cloth and they are as good as new. I haven't put any treatment on them ever, but I plan to, since my boots have began to crack so I've learned a lesson there... :) Also, it's good to buy one size up so that you can get them over your regular clothes.

I've had half a dozen buttons rip off but for a few bucks you can get a kit of replacement buttons from any sewing store. Its not heard to do either, just pull out the old button and hammer in a new one with the supplied miniature anvil.

Oh yeah, wearing leather brings out the worst in your friends too. I can't recall all of the times I've heard, "Hey Elvis, give me an Uh Hu". :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers, Steve
