    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.

Converting Clip Ons to Bars

Hi guys,

Anyone with any experience doing this? The 83 750ed that I just bought has a clip on style bars...I guess that's what they are...lol...I much prefer the feel and look of bars....the bike is currently at my "I gotta guy" place getting new rings, valve seals...dried out from sitting. He's giving the bike an entire go over...carbs, etc...I'm also taking the opportunity to clean up the valve cover etc..
Advice on the bars? I really hate the way they look and handle....yes. I'm old...lol

Dam Trevor, that cover looks like H3LL... I would suggest looking into swapping the upper triple, from a compatible bike. I have to think they would be the same, aside from the bar setup...

Good old factory clear coat...lol...Tomorrow it should look brand new. :)
 
You can buy bolt on bar risers

Just drill 2 holes in the top clamp, provided there is room on top and enough metal below

I had the not enough metal below issue when restomodding my 79. My buddy surprised me by whipping up a new top clamp, and my risers bolted right in

I converted my '95 GPZ from clip ones to bars using an LSL kit. Google them. They sell them at Spieglar in Dayton OH.
