    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.

just picked up a bike stand at northern, the kind that looks like a bent paper clip, not sure what they are called.
just holds the back wheel off the ground.
put it together and could not find where the lift attaches to the back of the bike to raise it up.
on the left side, was a few places but not enough to grab onto
on the right, the muffler was in the way.
did i buy the wrong thing or is there something i missing?
 
A picture is worth a thousand words. There are so many variations of rear stands it is impossible to comment. Also what model bike would be helpful.
 
look up the parts diagram on www.bikebandit.com

if this is on an 850, the spring attaches to the forward, at the bottom of the frame cross-bar, in the centre just below the back of the engine

I have a Lockhart stand that works well. I have an attachment that allows you to lift the front end too.

that's it, the white one
just not sure where i can attach it to the rear of the bike (1980 gs850) to lift it off the ground.

the left side is open but not much room, but on the right, the muffler is in the way. is there something i am missing.
 
Sorry if this is obvious for you, not sure if you've used this type of stand before. That's a swingarm stand commonly used on for late model sportbikes. You lift up the rear of the bike by placing those black bits under either side of the swingarm and then press down on the "U" shaped handle on the top of the stand.

Once the bike's on the stand it'll look something like this:
