    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.

I have what I think is a 1980 GS850L that I bought without a title. The year is worn off the label on the steering head, so I can't be sure what year it is. My problem is I am trying to find side covers for it, but the ones I got are not correct. I need side covers that have two slots at the top and a prong at the botttom that sticks into a rubber bushing. The ones I got have two prongs at the top and one at the bottom.

Do the 1980 GS850L bikes have two slots on top for hanging on the L shaped brackets on the frame and a prong at the bottom for the rubber bushing? Or, have I not guessed the correct year model for my bike. Also, what other year GS850 has the mounting arrangement that I need?

Thanks,

Terry
 
Terry,

I have the '80 850L, and I have the side covers which you described: 2 slots on the top, and the 1 prong on the bottom of each side cover. Distance between the slots (center to center) is 6-3/4". Distance from forward-most slot to bottom prong, also 6-3/4".

Hope that helps.
 
Mine is an 82

Mine is an 82

Mine has 2 tabs at the top and one at the bottom. All 3 socket into round rubber sockets.
 
Thanks gentlemen. This clears it up for me. Cris, you have an '82, right?
