    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...

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.

65 degrees on a Sunday afternoon - In Michigan - in November - partly sunny - in November - In Michigan.
Got out for a short ride. About 35 miles to just into Grand Rapids and then 35 miles back. Some nice curves on a couple roads that somewhat follow the Grand River. This is one place that lends itself to posing a picture.

Sunset at Lake Michigan beach (parking lot at the beach, not really on the beach, but enough sand blown over parking lot to look like beach beach)

Trying to get shot with sunset and my reflection in tank. And now I see Also got the two harleys & riders reflected in fairing. They were doing a good job of ignoring me.

Take 65* in Michigan in November anytime you can get it!:) It was considerably warmer than that here Today and yes, I went for a nice 120 mile ride!
 
Nice pics....and bike, too!
At first, I thought that the lamp post reflection was the Harley's "some serious" ape hangers...:eek:

I see you have "Modern" grips. I will look into that.

Your seat is black. Original dyed or recovered? If it's new I want some of that.

DP,

The grips are "Grand Touring". Have been around since 80's. I first saw them in early 90s, and I have had them ever since, got an other pair as soon as I got this bike. Not only is the shape nice, but the fact that they are softer makes it easy to hold with little effort. Really eliminates hand fatigue.
I have recently seen them in Dennis Kirk clearance sale, so maybe DK not going to carry them any more.

Seat is original as far as I know. On '82 GKs they were black, early 82s anyway.

>>>>>>>>>>Later note. From Dennis Kirk online. in the closeout section. I see the manufacturer is "Sunline" and now the model is Grand Touring.


CLOSEOUT!
Was: $12.99
Now: $11.69
Sunline Grand Touring Grips for 7/8 in. Bars
Dennis Kirk Part #: 611045
Manufacturer Part #: 3604001
Special Closeout Pricing!

Motorcycle Superstore also has them. Also has bigger/better photo of them.

To fit on GK, if you want to retain the bar end weights, have to cut off the end of the grips.
