    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.

    The GSR: The last of the great forums?

    I have long been impressed by the longevity and the consistency of the GSR. It has to start with Frank, our administrator, who from the beginning without pay has performed all of the tedious and time consuming technical functions required to keep a site of this size and activity level working...

    Did I do this right?

    Still working on my carb issues but I need to start tending to the electrical ones. I think I may be misunderstanding how I should be doing this check. With the switch turned on, engine not running, starter not touched the voltage across the battery terminals is 12.7. The voltage across the...

    1978GS750E gets my vote. The distillery sign and the Baptist church sign side by side capture the true south in my estimation.

    You probably know I am Goldwing addicted - You can be too -- Look Inside ;)

    My first wife would fall asleep on the back of my 850 from time to time...usually on the way home from some too serious partying. I had a tour box on the back to prevent her sliding to the rear and used bungies to keep her upright. ...

    airbox hoses/holders

    If you haven't thrown the old boots away you can probably rejuvenate them. According to many car and motorcycle restoration sites including a couple of threads here on GSR soaking in a solution of Wintergreen oil (1 part) and alcohol (3 parts) for a day or two will restore original shape and...

    fuelcock/petcock replacement

    Would you by chance have a picture of one of these elbows attached to a petcock? I am having a hard time picturing a secure fitting.

    fuelcock/petcock replacement

    I wanted to follow up on the issue of leak after vacuum. I did not apply vacuum during my bench tests because I did not know if it would accurately simulate operation on the bike. The better way would be to pull off the line and check for drips after running the engine for a while. As it...

    Did I do this right?

    Would the two soldered splices in total have much more resistance than the crimped spade connector they replaced? The bike is an '81 with 24,000 miles on it. It's appearance and the paperwork research I did would indicate that is probably an accurate number or close. Somebody did not do well...

    Did I do this right?

    I was test riding my 850 that has been having fuel flow/carburetor issues and two cylinders dropped completely out. I made it home and when I pulled the tank this is what I saw. There was not enough slack wire to just put on a new connector and have it reach. So instead I spliced in a...

    Not sure about Brexi. Not a typical bot/spam pattern. Usually it is one post on the same day as membership. Brexi joined in January, has 7 posts all today but they all appear to be in the appropriate forums for their content. Maybe we have a member who speaks German? ...

    fuelcock/petcock replacement

    Good idea. Do you have more detail on the product--picture or link perhaps? Most of what I saw was threaded and/or too thick to serve the purpose; hence the resort to thicker fuel line. But s proper fitting elbow would for sure be the better option.

    fuelcock/petcock replacement

    One thing I discovered when mounting on the bike is there a potential routing issue for the fuel line. The fuel nozzle on the oem points to the front into open space. On these the nozzle points to the inside of the bike and on the 850 the opening is less than an inch from the side of the airbox...

    fuelcock/petcock replacement

    Once all of the petcocks arrived and were out of their boxes the first thing that struck me was how identical they were in appearance. Even the boxes and sealed plastic bags they arrived in were identical. This was the same petcock being sold by three different vendors. I was careful to keep...
