    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.

Hi

Is it possible to strip and rechrome the spring type rear shock off a GS1000 ie the spring and complete damper?
 
You'll probably have to take it somewhere. I don't k ow how you'd get all the chrome off all the coils but a chrome shop could put it in a bath to de- chrome it then redo it.
 
Depends on the type but it's usually out of reach of the average DIY guy. Post your bike info and a pic of your shock/spring and sooner or later someone much smarter than me will help you out.
 
One other thing is, I guess the spring is chrome but is the top and bottom of the damper chrome or polished and if chrome can they be done as a whole damper or not?
 
I was mate yeah the ones I got just need rechrome however to re chrome might cost more than ?20 so thanks for that. I had found some shocks on ebay but they have been sprayed black and a bit rough so might keep looking....
