    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.

Just an interesting note. I have a 1978 GS750E. Whoever owned it before me thought it was a good idea to cut all of the lighting wires to the instrument panel and clump them in a ball of electrical tape. I looked online and could find almost nowhere to replace the socket (I'd call it a wiring harness). BUT, I finally located a place in the UK, called Robinsons Foundry, that had 3 of them! Not that expensive, even when shipped to the US. I received what appeared to be a brand new socket in the original Suzuki packaging from 1978! It was amazing! Here's a pic after I've labelled the wiring. Can't wait to get it installed and see those lights on the instrument panel working!

WOW! Fantastic! 43 years It's been waiting for you ...Good sleuthing skills, there, KimQuon' -gotta love the Internet!
 
Update: Light bulbs came in today. First I found them online for $2.95 each plus shipping. Kept looking and found $0.99 each plus shipping. Finally found them for $0.66 each plus shipping. It made a difference because you need 9 of them. Anyway...amazingly...I installed all of the bulbs and EVERYTHING works.
