    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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...

  • 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.

You're newest brother is here!

And bad news, hes kinda hairy. What's up guys! I'm Scott and I live in southwest Missouri. I picked up this sweet 1980 850GSL the other night to move on from this great learner bike. Now both my wife and I can ride in classic style.
 
Welcome my fuzzy bro. Congrats and good luck with the GS. Looks like your wife has a sweet little Kawasaki as well. Enjoy.
 
Welcome to the site. Nice part of the country you hail from. Not all that far from some great roads to ride.

If you are looking in parts catalog or parts fische, that will be a GS850GL (dispite the side panel saying GS850L).
G shaft drive.
L Cruiser style.
And further more if you see GS850GLT, the T indicates model year 1980.

If you want to modify the L out of it, so can rider longer further, the best place to start is the bars (or put on a fairing).

I too have a Honda Shadow, in addition to the GS.
Although an '80s VT500C.
Got it with the idea of wife learning to ride. Which she did, but then lost interest.
Now it is the winter beater bike.
