    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.

backrest/luggage rack questions

Hello,

I recently purchased a backrest for my 81 850G. It was completely rusted together and took quite a bit of hydraulic power to break it free (unfortunately, I lost a middle bracket in the process). I am curious if anyone can tell me the hardware needed to secure the backrest into the luggage rack? I think I remember seeing some sore of compression type gasket to hold the frame in place?

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Thank you.

Mine is slightly different than yours but I imagine the clamps are the same. There's a threaded hole on each of the open rack tubes that accommodates a bolt/large setscrew, tightening this should hold the backrest at that set distance.
