    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.

Hey guys, I'm lookin to dress up my 82 650 a little bit but i'm having a real hard time finding the parts I'm looking for. I'd like a sissy bar, a set of saddlebags, and maybe some highway bars/engine guards to spice her up a little bit. I've tried ebay, JCwhitney, and a few other sites, but so far I havent found anything worthwhile. I know these are old bikes, and its not like they're still making accessories but someones gotta be selling stuff that will fit! Please help if you know of a good site! thanks
 
As far as saddlebags go you could find some hard bags from back in the 80's that were made for these bikes or universal fit. There are also lots of soft leather and textile bags that would work, you would most likely have to fabricate your own supports to keep them out of the shocks and tires.

On the highway bars, Denniskirk.com has a couple options to fit your bike. They are not cheap though. The last time I had a copy of a DK catalog I think they had some universal fit sissy bars also. You had to measure the width of the bike and compare to the measure of the sissybar though.

You could also look in the parts for sale forum here or post in the parts wanted section with what you are looking for.
