    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.

Goes like a scalded cat now!

Finally, got the VM29 carbs sorted out, and the GS1000 is running strong. The bike has new fork seals, rebuilt and painted front calipers, painted front rotors, brand new coils and plug caps. I have about $1800 into it, so that's not bad. It's been about a month since I purchased the bike. and am just now ready to ride it! But I have to wait just a few more days, because when replacing one of the boots on the caliper, I ripped it.:mad: I discovered a real easy way of replacing them after that experience. I can't wait to really give it an invigorating run. With no front calipers, I really can't get too crazy. I really like the power band of the big GS. Having had a 90 Kat 1100, and a ZRX1200, this bike is a lot like both of those bikes. I just dig a big bore 4. This really has been a labor of love. And to think, just the day before, I was ready to give up on it. Wow, I am glad I hung in there, encouraged by a few on here. Thanks for all of the help I received from everyone, and the patience you had with me. :D

Hey, thanks big-T! It saves me taking more pics. Cause, really, with all that I have done to it, it doesn't look much different than when those pics were taken. So it is almost a month to the day. :D
