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.

GS1100GK valve cover question

I picked up an '82 1100GK a couple of weeks ago and have begun bringing it back to roadworthy condition. Here's my question: can I remove the valve cover without having to remove the fairing brackets? I sure hope so.
Also, while I'm at it, is anyone else planning to attend the VJMC national meet at CumberLand Gap this coming weekend?
Thanks for any and all responses.

Don't be shy to bump this to the beginning. Maybe no one saw the thread to respond.
Bumpity bump bump....
 
I'm not a 100% sure on this, but I don't ever remember having to remove the fairing brackets to pull the cover on a GK. Maybe a current GK owner can add to this.
 
I'm going to go ahead and find out 1st hand, as soon as I get my hands on a replacement valve cover gasket. I'll post my results for anyone wondering in the future.

I pulled the cover of this afternoon. I now know, and anyone that reads this does too that the valve cover (or cam cover, for FWIW) can be removed from a GS1100GK without removing the fairing or fairing brackets. I removed the vent cover before attempting to remove the valve cover but I'm not certain if its necessary.
