    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.

To you all out there......Many thanks.

With your help I have resurrected the 650G. It is a lovely ride, quicker than it looks and superb handling. Will post pics soon. Have since added 1200 miles and the clock reads a total of 12,866 miles.

In the future might add progressive rate springs to front, replace rear dampers and if I m feeling rich spray paint the tail piece which is highly faded and matted with the sun.

Done to date, replaced fork seals, tyres (IRC Durotour) and valves, rebuilt carbs and petcock, airfilter, rear brake pads, hydraulic fluid, seat cover and the usual oils in engine and shaft.

Some things I m looking for are the circular covers for the swing arm bolts and the measurments of the original handlebar. The one I have is a Euro style bar, which works a treat but is too low for me.

One again thanks.

If you want a taller bar I suggest the Daytona model by Bikemaster. My local dealer has the various models on display so I compared them. The Euro model is the lowest (besides the Drag bar) then the Superbike, which is slightly taller. The Daytona is the tallest of them all with the most pullback, and appears closest to my OEM bars.
 
Kool Aid, Thanks for that! Am looking at the Bikemaster site now and comparing the sizes. Much obliged.
