    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.

GS850 Engine Protection bars

Can anyone help with dimensions and/or photos of GS850G engine protection bars?
I am restoring a bike that did not have these bars and want to fit them.
I have found a wrecker who may have some but their business is interstate and he wants more information.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
 
I have a set of brand-new, never fitted cage-type ones. I'll photo and measure them up later.
 
Here's a side picture of mine they are two piece one slides inside the other under the headers and two point bolt either side.

 
Found the basket-type protection bars. One has been badly stored, but both are new, despite appearances.

Thanks for responding.
You have enthused me as the bike that you have is exactly the colour scheme etc that I am doing my bike to.
They look like later model flasher lights or did those lights come as original?
I am actually using the rectangular lights also.
I really like the frame for panniers.
Where did you get that?

hi the lights and flashers are original as is everything else apart from a motad exhaust and stainless brake lines.
the pannier frame and rack are in stainless I made and designed them when I was working.
