    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • 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.

Don't feel like spending $50 for a huge bag to keep steping around forever, just need a little bit.

Any ideas?

Does Washing soda work or anything like that?
 
Washing soda works great,grittier than the stuff used for baking.Just be sure to sieve it before use.
 
Ping Rob (azr) I believe he's used washing and baking soda on his restorations, think he recommends Arm & Hammer....
 
The arm and hammer baking soda and I just didn't think it got everything as I still had a lot of picking and scraping in the hard to reach areas
 
I'm thinking maybe the actual blasting media might be coarser, or harder or something? I used washing soda once, it worked but not real well. Maybe the blasting stuff is better.
 
Tom I have a thread out there about my attempt but am on the phone in town and can't look for it right now
 
I went to the local farm supply store and bought a bag of Sodium Bicarb, same as baking soda but a little coarser. They use it as a mineral substitute for dairy cows.
 
My soda blast guy, who does it for a living is using Arm & Hammer. He tells me it comes in different grits for different applications.
