    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.

  • 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.

What goes behind this bolt?

I am installing the brackets and foot pegs on my '81 GS1100. Something looks off. There seems to be a spacer or something missing behind the bracket (between frame and bracket) on the bolt I am pointing to. The reason I think this is because there is a 1/4 inch space there and if I tighten the bolt as is I will bend the bracket. Can anyone enlighten me?

Yes, this is my '82GS1100. The middle lower hole that I am pointing to is not on the same plane as the other holes. It fits together nicely if I put five washers between the bracket and frame. There has to be something that goes there.

My bike has a piece that bolts there that acts as a stop to keep the brake lever from returning up too high.
 
I went out and took a couple of pic's of one of my '82 GS1100G's. Hope these help. (Excuse the dirt please.)




 
From GSX1000E's pic looks to me like my lower tab has been bent inward about a 1/4 inch. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that this bike has been down so that seems peculiar to me. So now I'm wondering if I should attempted to bent it back or should I just use the washers as a spacer to compensate for the difference?
