    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Ok, this was a minor want for my 850GL cause I'm feeling age creep in and that other nagging desire for a cruiser config for comfort in riding--something that these old horses are not really known for. Doing a random search on fleabay yielded these. They have an ebay store so no worries about not finding any more. I blinked at the price and blinked some more that they were solid steel, and grinned nicely at the included highway pegs. They were just delivered today. Looked through the box and everything was there including instructions (very sparse) for GS750s and GS850s. This will be my weekend project so stay tuned to see if I had a fight with these or if they were a piece of cake.

Regardless, for $35 including shipping, this price beats most hollow tube designs by at least half. I've seen new and used go for between $70 and $120--not including pegs. Construction is solid (literally) and if they fit, should prove to be a useful steal.

Rocky's has a full array of guards for all sizes it looked like as well as random assortments of other parts.
