    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...

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.

Looking at putting on some fork boots on my 82 GS1100GL. Anyone have any pics?

I believe forks are 37mm.

Thanks
 
You have a source for them? I hear that boots for Rancho shock absorbers are only a few bucks at the auto parts store.

There's some Volvo steering arm boots that fit well too, can't remember which model.

Don't know about the Volvo boots, but click HERE and see the Google Search results that show the Rancho boots for about $7.50. :-\\\

The Volvo boots are a perfect fit over the tops of the lower sliders, and a slightly slack fit on the stanchions, so will fit up to 41mm legs, iwt.
I'm not complaining, as the new price was 30usd and my price was 2usd as NOS for a model of car that was fast disappearing from the streets.
There are lots of other cars with suitable boots in similar NOS situations, so parts are dirt cheap.
I'll mention that these boots I got are ten times the quality of the cheap motorcycle gaiters I got that cost much more.
