    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.

Took the left handlebar switch off my 83 gs 1100 and found the contacts were corroded and also a ton of springs came out and a ball bearing popped out. Does anyone have a picture of where these items go. Any help would greatly appreciated. Thx

That's probably because we've all done that.
First time I took mine apart the ball bearing shot across the garage and ended up in some alternative dimension, never to return. :eek:

I was lucky to have a spare set of controls that I took apart very, very carefully...

I'm sorry I don't have any pictures or step by step instrucions for you...
I could probably put it together if I had all the parts in hand, but I don't know how I can help you here, except to help you feel that you're not alone.

Maybe one of our resident experts has more info...

Good luck...

Putting it back together with dielectric grease helps hold everything in place so you can get the housing back on.
