    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've just bought this bike on ebay and need to find a luggage rack, backrest, and windshield. I've read some of the advice on windshields on GSResources, but I can't locate a suitable luggage rack or a seat/backrest to fit this bike. Can anyone help?
 
You are probably going to have to find a motocycle boneyard near you or find one on E-bay.
 
I've been looking for a luggage rack or backrest as well. Not having much luck.
 
Try ebay or you may get lucky like I did.
Keep an eye on the GS'es for sale here and see if you can find your model with a backrest. Then PM them and see if you can buy the backrest,before or after they sell the bike.
In my case, the buyer of the bike didn't want the backrest so I scored. :twisted:
 
You might want to look at this rack that is posted on Ebay. Could work for you.

The best place to look for racks is your local ( or out of town) motorcycle salvage shops. I shop around with one here and have seen a few racks. If you are interested perhaps send me your info and photos and I can look here for you.
