    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.

    2025 Brown County GS Rally - June 19 - 22

    Great pics and narrative, Dave! And Rich, and Bob, and Norm, and everyone I forgot. As usual, I didn't take a single photo. I'll leave the shutterbugging to the shutterbugs. Most importantly, this was an incident-free year. Not so much as a hangnail. I think the most serious mechanical issue...

    2025 Brown County GS Rally - June 19 - 22

    I was down there last weekend, and nothing was anywhere near flood stage. We have had a fair bit of rain, but I don't see any flooding on the current INDOT map. There are a few road closings for construction that might affect us: IN-62 west of Leavenworth and east of Sulphur is closed for a...

    GS550 Steering Stem Bearing Removal

    Wait, is the OP having trouble with removing the lower inner race from the steering stem, or the outer lower race from the bike frame? It's a little hard to tell from the original post I posted instructions for the former, removing the race from the steering stem. To remove the race from the...

    GS550 Steering Stem Bearing Removal

    This is what I do -- cut a slot with a cutting wheel on a Dremel tool, but be careful not to go all the way through and nick the stem. Once it gets deep, but not all the way through (did I mention that you shouldn't go all the way through?), place the blade of a large ugly cold chisel in the...

    Two weeks to go! We're full up on the Rosemount rooming list as of this particular moment, but things always seem to change -- if your plans change and you can't make, it, please let me know ASAP and PDQ. And if you'd like to be there, let me know and I'll put you on the waiting list. As per...

    bullet wire connectors

    Eastern Beaver has these: https://www.easternbeaver.com/connector-sealed-bullets/ Although I'd argue that there's no such thing as a "good" bullet connector.

    Sorry to hear you won't make it Carl. Just a reminder to email me - brian@bwringer.com - if you'd like a bunk at the Rosemount. We should have a bit more space, so say the word. And another reminder to let me know ASAP and PDQ if you do have a confirmed room but your plans change. (Or if...

    2025 "Ride or Rot" Vintage MC show Ft Wayne IN Aug 17

    Well, I guess it's on us to show up and make it better... I remember one time a bunch of us GS folks "invaded" and I think outnumbered a KZ rally in Ohio. Good fun. It's about 2.5 hours for us (NW corner of Indy) if we avoid the interstate. This should be within striking distance for some...

    Why so many "No Title" bikes listed for sale?

    "Traded for crack" appears to be a popular reason for no title, but overall it's mostly just clueless people who can't keep their poop in a group enough to keep track of a stupid piece of paper. And yeah, there's a strong argument that the stupid piece of paper is pretty meaningless these days...

    Greets, All I just sent the MASSIVE email asking y'all to contact me with room requests and preferences. If you didn't get it, and you think you should have, and it's not in your spam folder, email me at brian@bwringer.com . The forum's PM system is sort of busted, so if you PM me it's a bit...

    GS850GL engine year identification

    The later (82+) clutch cover is angled. (if you're looking down at it from the top), and the earlier one is flat. I've run across mongrels in the wild; Suzuki's motto is "waste not want not", so you have to pay close attention to the engine in front of you. Speaking of the clutch cover, beware...

    Springtime Farmington Ride - May 15 - 18, 2025

    Innnnnnteresting, very very innnnnteresting. I will very likely have a conflict with that filthy 4-letter word (you know, w--k) but I will put this on my May radar for serious consideration.

    Fairing?

    Unless you're four feet tall, you never look through the windshield on that Emgo fairing. It could be made of solid opaque plastic.
