    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.

I want to try changing the riding position on my 85 1150ef .I bought bars for a ES but they won't fit under the fairing.
If I take off the fairing will i need to also change the headlight ?

ES is also faired, it just doesn't have the lower fibreglass belly fairing. So you have the bars from an EE. anyway, You don't have to change the headlight but it will sure be ugly if you don't. You'll also have to get bar mount mirrors. I am also looking to change my bar position but not at the expense of the fairing.

I have my eye on these but I am not sure which ones will fit just yet..

Would you mind letting me know what you come up with? I'd be very interested in seeing the results. Good luck.

I have seen one guy who mounted 7/8" swept bars. It looked awful, and not a lot more comfortable.
