    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.

    3D Printed Velocity Stacks

    Nice looking finish on those prints. Are they sanded, or just a low layer height?

    Well, at least we know your process doesn't hurt.

    "Pure gas". How long does it stay good?

    One bowl of gas evaporating over winter or longer has never done me any harm. Stabil or similar is a must, to keep the water from separating out of the fuel. When the bowls fill with water on the first prime in Spring, it's just no good (and may lead to rust). I used to forget to stabilize my...

    Heading north with bike in tow.

    Find some cool roads? More like "spoiled for choice".

    what did you wrench on today??

    Looks good, except maybe for the big white view from the rear. Mine doesn't look that big, so I think that camera's adding the usual 10 pounds. Did you have the brackets powder coated? I need to do something with mine before the rust gets serious.

    Another zip tie method

    What I didn't like about the hairspray was waiting for it to dry. Even the next day it hadn't cured fully. I don't do that anymore.

    Where do I go from here?

    Does it spark? Are the valves anywhere near correctly adjusted? Check everything. Assume everything is wrong. Probably more than one thing is. Find them all. Some you can't see but are dangerous. For example, brake fluid turns to sludge.

    Another zip tie method

    Soda blasting carb bodies is about all I've ever done. Anything larger implies I'm involved in a serious painting project. You can go ahead and discount any such reports without some pretty significant corroboration.

    Another zip tie method

    Myself, I don't use the compressor that much. I have a little Ryobi handheld thing for tires. I think it's been a couple years since I got it, and the compressor has just been in the way since then. Maybe I should put it on Craigslist. Wait, what am I thinking? I might want to media blast...

    Another zip tie method

    This time for grip installation. Grip stuff starts at about 2:00. The link for the video is supposed to start there, but that doesn't seem to be working. This dude has a whole playlist of hacks for mountain bikes. Probably more than a few are cross-disciplinary.

    Oceania GS1000G Fork Question

    I have the 1.0kg/mm springs and whatever oil and settings Racetech recommended based on my riding style. There's more to adjusting the Racetech units than the number of turns, and since I was completely happy with the recommended settings, I didn't mess with it enough to get familiar with it...

    Oceania GS1000G Fork Question

    Welcome Andy. I've been following your rebuild as well. I even posted a few comments I hope were helpful, a couple months back. Since Suzuki can't find this configuration of the bike either, I'm suspecting that some PO swapped the forks, or swapped in the adjustable preload caps instead of the...

    Rear shock shopping

    I like mine quite well, but I paid even more to get separately adjustable compression and rebound.

    GS1000 Crank Cad Drawing

    My day job is designing fixtures for CNC mills. Mostly 4 and 5 axis verticals. I generally use SW for all my hobby work on the 3D printer too. It's fun designing for a different manufacturing process and experimenting with other kinds of modeling.

    GS1000 Crank Cad Drawing

    It took me a long time to get over losing the command line. I do what I can with hotkeys and shortcuts, but I'm not sure which his ultimately faster. Maybe not the command line. It didn't take too long to give up placing geometry precisely. I let the constraints and relations handle that for me...

    GS1000 Crank Cad Drawing

    Yeah, that would have been a big change, from R13 to SW. From pure Boolean operations to feature based parametrics. Maybe also changing from the command line interface to clicking on menus and toolbars. I briefly used R13 solids for work. I'm told it was harder to use than R12 solids. I hear in...

    GS1000 Crank Cad Drawing

    If you want to get back to CAD, Autodesk Fusion 360 is free for hobbyist, etc. and is pretty powerful. It feels weird to me, mostly because SolidWorks is my daily.

    GS850G Died suddenly on freeway

    OK, so I got curious enough to go look. I tried putting the spare '79-81 G model tank on my '80 850GL. The mounting is similar in style, but not compatible. The mount points up front are wider on the GL, so the tank won't even sit on the frame. By eyeball, the rear mount on the GL is 70-100mm...

    GS850G Died suddenly on freeway

    My understanding is that they do not interchange without some welding on the frame. Dantheman did it years ago. I don't know what all was involved, but it was not a straight swap.
