    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Improving the "L" model...

Well, I was not trying to offend anyone with the mods I made to "my" bike. This is an appearance modification thread though, so you have to be expecting to see some things you may not like. The reason I want to change fenders is that I would like to see my chrome fenders go to a needy home, rather than paint them. I understand that some like the look of the chrome. I personally do not. The bike was given to me, so I was not picky, knowing that I could change it into what I want. If I were to sell the bike, I would get something newer, like an SV650. I can't afford a new bike right now, so a hundred bucks on a fender is a cheap way to get me closer to what I like. That being said, anyone out there looking for a decent set of chrome fenders for an 82 650GL? PM me, and we can try to work something out.
 
Any chance they'd fit a 79 GS425? I sure like me some chrome fenders, and man, am I a needy home! PM me if you think it might work - I've been researching that and am more confused than when I started!

Yeah I've been thinking about this for a while, but I've yet to see pictures of the tombstone on an L... I would LOVE to see how this works out!!
