    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.

Headlight went out...

My sealed headlight burnt out on my 82' GS450 txz. I guess I'm supposed to buy a complete new sealed headlight assembly for it? Is there a cheaper way to fix this problem?
 
They do make 'conversion kits' that replace a sealed beam headlight to accept a standard H-4 halogen replaceable bulb. Other than that, your pretty much relegated to buying a complete new sealed bulb.
 
part number 6000-303 7" quartz headlamp lens. 16.15 + tx (autopal)

standard H-4 bulb 5.75 +tx (or get one of those silverstars for like 20.00)

those numbers are from the KK supply book, any good parts house should be able to use em. the prices listed are m.s.r.p.

the sealed beam headlamp should be relatively inexpensive I would think. just not as bright as the same wattage halogen. you may need a different diameter headlamp, I dunno, just measure across the lamp.
 
measure very carefully, because my GS400 came with a like 6 7/8" headlight or something, and there isn't even replacement bulbs (sealed beam) availible for it. I got a new 7" bucket and lens/h4 combo, and its like 500% brighter
 
I just bought a standard H4 motorcycle halogen bulb and siliconed it into the existing headlight enclosure. Nothing like a bodge-job. 8)
