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.

Friendly advice....DON'T go with ape hangers. You'll lose feel of the bike in twisties, arms/shoulders will hurt after 50 miles at high speed, not to mention the waste of $ for cabling, brake lines, etc...even mini apes suck. Look cool or be practical? Your choice.

No, I said cool, but corrected myself, especially after looking at that CL ad with GS650. Not intended to bash the OP's wish to mod his bike, but he did ask and I've ridden bikes with apes on a Triumph and mini apes on Harleys. Same negatives would still apply to a GS reworked and look/feel more out of place.

Stay with those Renthal bars you have on that GS450. You have the perfect setup now....you'll regret apehangers on that bike(or any other bike for that matter)....but it's your bike...do what you want. Just keep the original stuff when you change back or when you sell it!
