    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...

  • 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.

Side panel retention

Here is an idea for retainig side panels. On my 850 there are two slots at the top of each panel that are used to secure it to the bike. I run a long, thin cable tie through one of the slots (the rear one) and then around the adjacent frame rail.

If your panel does not have an inconspicuous slot or hole, use a small key ring or make a loop out of another cable tie. Secure it to the inside of the panel with a big gop of goop, the new age duct tape.
 
For GS's that have pin mount side-covers, drill a small hole at the end of the pin through the shaft (pick a pin that you can reach from behind once the cover is installed)......use a pin-vise or dremel. Once the cover is installed, slip a cotterpin or hitchpin through the hole. No more flying off covers.
