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.

Sidestand angle on an '81 1100E

I'm almost done with the bull work on my 1100EX, but still need to weld the frame tube where the sidestand mounting bracket is.

The PO apparently had whacked the sidestand pretty good - the bracket is "flattened" into the frame tube and the mounting tab is essentially parallel with the ground. In addition, that impact actually ruptured the bottom of the frame tube under the bracket, over a length about 3"-4" long.

My buddy is going to look at it this Thursday & most likely we'll just weld it up. i'll try to take some before & after pics.

My question is:

What angle is the sidestand tab supposed to be? I need to bend the tab back into position, but i don't know what angle that is - if anyone has an 80-81 1100E I would apprciate it if you could measure the tab angle & let me know (measured while the bike is upright on the center stand).

thanks,

mike
