    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.

    Man, thank you bwringer. You have no idea how many times you've helped me over the years. I'll post my technique for getting the bushings out if it works in case someone else comes across this issue. Then I'll be able to measure them and check dimensions. I'll post back with the results as well.

    Upper Fork Bushing 82 GS850G

    Unfortunately that is the lower piston which is on the outside of the inner fork tube. That I have. The part I'm looking for is inside of the fork outer tube. I do have both lower pistons in addition to these upper ones.

    Upper Fork Bushing 82 GS850G

    Hey Everyone, I recently had a guy vapor-blast a few parts for me including my outer fork tubes. Unfortunately it looks like he sprayed inside the tube without putting anything in there and scuffed up the upper fork bushings (metal slides?) so I'm pretty sure I need to replace them. I dove...

    Clutch Sludge

    Hi All, Finally getting around to the clutch on my '82 GS850G. When I got in there and took a look around I noticed some sludge coming down the side. The fibers had what I thought was rust on them as well, but kind of looks like this stuff. I tried to take a picture to show what I'm talking...
