    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I finished one of my fork legs, just need to address some pitting on the other stanchion.

I am just looking for a snorkle, so if mikerophone needs it by all means feel free.
I do appreciate the offer thank you Phred.
Just one of those little things that I will eventually get sorted.

Phred, if ZenShenron doesn't need the airbox, I might. Obviously he has dibs, but I may need it if not. When tearing down my 81 850 last night I noticed the airbox side boots are in pretty bad shape and will need replacing. The filter was also completely disintegrated.

I'll PM you as well.

Before you put the airbox back in, inspect the breather tube on the top of the box, and where it goes into the airbox is a pressed metal welded inside. Run a stiff wire down this u shaped gallery, mine was full of gunk and needed a few sessions to get the crap out, constantly blowing it out with a compressor. And try not to disturb the soft caulking material on the joins inside, they help seal the joints.
 
Both Fork legs fully assembled and ready to go back on the bike.
I did a thorough cleaning of the airbox before I repainted it, and there was a little gunk in there thanks.
Next on the list is to find the short that keeps blowing my fuses.
