    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.

I am looking for some tech advice. I have a 1980 GS1000G in beautifull shape w/34,000mi. The bike is used extensively as a long haul commuter and sportourer. I am searching for a "norton dunstall" style fairing that would fit (the actual norton fairings are far to narrow) also I am looking for a performence 4-2 exhaust that would allow me to keep my center stand. My bike came with an aftermarket 4-1 wich puts the powerband about 2k rpm higher than I want. Also trying to find substantial & functional hard saddle bags I have a set of emglo pod filters that I may replace the stock airbox with unless adding auxillary intake vents to the bottom half of the airbox will give the desired results? any advice from you gs veterans would be appreciated especialy in the area of bottom-end to midrange tuning for torque. Thank-you J.D.

Welcome J.D.

As always, Pictures are required.

Sounds like you have a few highway miles on that bike. We also hope to learn a thing or two from your road experiences.

If you really want to read the blood, sweat, and tears behind that bike find a spare 100hrs and read some of the posts here. Search GS1000G. 20 pages of posts for your reading enjoyment. Some of it will sound like a disfunctional family on a sit com. Its actually a great read.
 
Rickman fairings come to mind, Dunstall will be very hard to get, google rickman fairings and see if thats what you need.
I'm sure you might pick up something from www.ebay.co.uk
 
Bottom end torque BEST when bike left STOCK. USE your stock pipes & adapt some Dunstall type mufflers
