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.

Hi...sorry if not in the right area of the forum...but am wanting to replace my worn out fork yoke emblem (hope that is the right name for it...the black and gold emblem just under the headlight in anycase...lol). I phoned the dealer and they of course list it as a no go.
Does anyone know where i can get one aftermarket? Original?
Also, are they the same measurements as an 82 GG1100? Other 82 models? Can someone send the measurements of theirs on an 82 so i could compare?
If someone can help out, that would be awesome.
thx in advance.

Hey Rick,

One way to check part interchangeability is to go to one of the on-line parts sources and compare part numbers. For example, look up the emblem part numbers on different model bikes and see if the number is the same, or if the numbers overlap in the supersession chain.

My favorite place to check parts is Alpha Sports. Their part prices are high but the on-line catalogue is the best I’ve found.

Good luck.
 
thx

thx

HI Fellas...thx for the sites...they will prove to be very helpful. I am going to head back to the dealership with that part number and see if i can get anywhere. If not, i guess i will order from them.
thx again.
Rick
 
FWIW, here's a photo of Al Jones' 1982 GS850GL, showing the single "S":

My '83 850G says "SUZUKI".
