    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.

Now I just got the carbs back on after a cleaning. Of the bikes I have owned I liked the 56 Norton 600 the best for handling. It would...

    Carb Cleaning Vs Rebuild

    Some years ago while working on a Bible camp bus that was left sitting with a full tank of fuel for seven years, I found, quite by God's grace,that hot water alone will clean a LOT out of the whole fuel system. Then I did a little experimenting and found that an excellent addition is TSP...

    Forks leaking after new seals!

I plan to take the components from the fork tube to a hydraulics shop to have bushings made, I think they will do it.​ Just been too busy with other stuff, but every time I mention the mountain of quilting stuff, card making stuff etc. in our...

    Forks leaking after new seals!

    I have a 1980 GS1100L and exactly the same problem; replaced seals with K & N's, measured oil carefully according to book, leaks sitting still. Thought I had the bike sold but buyer had financial reverse so got it back. Need to get that seal fixed so I can offer it again. Like the bike, but too...
