    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.

    Installed a cafe seat - '78 GS550

    I guess the real question is, do you ever intend on 'returning' to stock? If it's at all possible, I'd stay stick with it the way it is. It doesn't look all that bad the way it sits, but I do agree it does look a little better shortened. Do you have a link to the seat? I may look at one for...

    Easy way to clean terminals

    I could be wrong, but off the top of my head I think it was baking soda dissolved in water that worked for me in the past. I could be remembering incorrectly though, it's been awhile. I used to use the Coke trick followed up with some brake cleaner, but I never did like the "syrupy" residue...

    Actually, I really am thinking of putting together a 'rat bike' of sorts with my '79...and I think that seat may fit perfectly. Don't sh*t can it just yet ;)

    So I got a stock filter box installed today...

    If it wasn't 'broke', why are you 'fixing' it?

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Took a little drive down to Texas this weekend, and met up with Chuck. Couldn't waste a visit without breaking out a couple of his beautiful GS's... Here they are, after a beautiful ride from Temple to Killeen Power Sports. On the way back, took a little detour and stopped at Lake...

    1982 650E Rolling Cafe Build.

    Ah, ok...couldn't tell from the pics if it had an indentation, or was 'dented'. Some day (soon, hopefully) when I get my 550 running, I'd like to see yours and compare notes. I don't think there are any other 5/650 projects in the state, other than the two of ours. At least, none that I've...

    What are these shocks?

    Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll pull them apart and look for that marking, or any other I can find.

    What are these shocks?

    My frist thought was Progressive Suspension, because of the design, but I've never actually handled a set before, so wasn't sure as to what to look at for confirmation.

    What are these shocks?

    The pics don't show it, but there's a split collet of some kind at the top of the spring...the powder blue peice in the pics.

    What are these shocks?

    Acquired them along with a bike I just picked up. They definitely don't look OEM...any ideas as to what they may be? They're mounted on an '80 GS750E.

    So frustrated!

    Bad ground, perhaps?

    Starter Issues

    Sounds like the relay is going bad. Cheap fix, I think I've seen someone say you can get them for ~ $15 or so at Lowe's.
