    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 have an 1985 gsx1100ef fully faired with clip-on bars.Is there any way to raise these a bit without losing the clip-ons .I had a pair of single bolt risers in the garage and they fitted perfect but they would mean I'd have to use an ordinary straight handlebar like a Renthal which I don't want to do. Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

I believe the E model risers are taller.
 
Could you could mount them above the triple by sliding the forks up? Also, you can get new clip-ons with risers of various sizes from fastfromthepast.com. About $140, though.

The risers are already above the triple on this model. The E risers are usually taller on the '83 and up bikes.
 
what size are your clip ons. I have a set with a rise, can post pics if you like, maybe we can trade?

If his are the stock risers they are already about 4" tall. The ES had slightly shorter risers than the E.
