    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 search but couldnt find a answer that i was looking for. I own a 86 gs550es, and was wondering if i could lower the rise of the handle bar. I want it to be more like moder street bike so is there some type of handle bar that i can buy that is easy to find and install or do i have to fabricate something. the rise is not that bad but would like it lower to give the lower lean look on this bike if you guys need pics of what i am talking about i can take some. thanks for any help
 
Check the various on line caterers, such as JC Whitney, bikebandit, or oldbike barn. I got my handlebar from JCWhitney, and I really enjoy it.
