    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...

    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.

82 GS650GL Grab Bar

Hi all,
Just purchased a 1982 GS650GL. It does not have the passenger grab bar on the back and I am having trouble finding one... been scouring ebay. The OEM part is not available anymore.

Are there any aftermarket grab bars that will fit this model? Or will I be stuck with a "universal" bar that I'll have to figure out how to fit?

Thanks!
 
If you are patient, one might appear on ebay. Personally, I think a universal sissy bar is more useful than stock thing. My universal one uses brackets and washers combined with sliding tube within tube to fit- same bar likely fits many bikes with the right brackets.
 
Thanks, do you have a link to the bar / brackets that you used? I am completely new to motorcycles so I'm not totally sure how I would go about identifying the right brackets for the application of a universal bar. :rolleyes:

I got some learnin' to do.
 
Probably enough GS members in your area to form a third party! maybe someone has one lying around, No brand markings on mine, but if you look at pic, you'll see that it bolts to rear shock mount and then to turn signal mount.
