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.

another pic...
Looks like the stock calipers from a pre 1980 GS, they don't work anywhere near as well as the later ones with rectangular pads. A lot of folks put the later ones on the earlier bikes, someone probably took the good brakes for themselves when they sold your bike.

Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.
The later ones are quite a bit better than the earlier ones... But there are far better brakes available now that also bolt right up.....

That's long read. What are the options for front rotors and calipers?
That's weird, these look very similar to those of my 550s – but there are a lot of minor details which are quite different.
They served me well enough, even managed to skid a front tire last year. Am a noob though, and still have to convert my bikes to braided brake lines etc.
