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.

    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.

I'm in the middle of fixing up a bike I got for 700 bucks that I put 8000 miles on last year and is in great shape. There are a few things I need to replace, namely the speedo and tach units. They both broke the same day when I rode an hour in 15 degree weather here in Minnesota. Does anyone know good places to find aftermarket items like those? They don't seem to be available from the manufacturer so I'm at a loss. Any help is appreciated!
 
there are a few aftermarket gauges, if that is what you mean. A search should yield the different options. Otherwise there are several models that would fit your GS1100L just search ebay.
 
It would be unusual (but not impossible) for both to break the same day. Have you checked the cables?
 
The cables were busted earlier in the season last year and replaced them and then I was riding in snow and cold to get the thing home for the winter and the speedo was buzzing loud and then the needle busted off and it just stopped moving and about 15 minutes later there goes the tach the same way. Everything I search for to find new gauges yields me tons of results for the cables and not many for aftermarket gauges. What other models gauges would fit the GS1100L? I'm a relative newb to these bikes. I got to know mine really well last year but as far as knowing what fits what and all I'm pretty lost. You all might hate me for it but I'm actually a Harley guy other than this bike...
