    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.

Downward slanted foot pegs

Anyone else have this issue? It seems that my footpads are permanently slanted downward at the outside, and it makes it feel like my feet will slip off. It seems like the rubber bushings the foot pegs are mounted in are possibly worn out.
Anyone else dealt with this? Any fixes for it besides just ordering new bushings? Btw, it's a 1982 GS650L. Thanks!

A temporary fix is to pack out the inner end of the swivel with a strip of steel, where it butts up against the bracket. In the long term, you can either replace them with low mileage ones or take them off and fill the holes with weld and re-drill or simply weld thick washers onto the bracket and fit a new pin.
