    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.

Need help with '83 GS1100E sidecovers

I need to repair the tabs on my sidecovers and need to know the lengths of the tabs. As luck would have it, all of the tabs are broken on both of the ones that I have. Can someone help and measure the tabs from where they connect at the sidecover to the end?

Thanks,
 
Thanks, but no measurements! I have the materials to make them, just need the measurements. Anyone have these measurements???
 
Thanks azr, that's what I needed!

I have some flat and round ABS plastic stock that I can machine to whatever dimensions I need, and then epoxy them to the sidecover.

Once you've repaired yours, it's helpful to reduce the stress on those tabs by popping the sidecovers back off using a long screwdriver with the seat removed to gently push each tab out of the rubber grommets one at a time. Also a bit of silicone grease on the rubber and tabs.
