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.

PBlaster gasket remover

Maybe others have discovered this, but was an accidental find for me. I was removing the clutch cover on my '82 GS1100 to replace the springs. The factory must have used a lot of sealant on the gasket and I was having a bugger of a time removing it. I put some PBlaster on the locator pins with a cotton swab, in an attempt to remove them to get at the leftover gasket by the pins (they would not come out). After a few minutes, I noticed that the stuck on gasket around the locator pins came off a lot easier. So I spread the stuff on all of the stubborn gasket, and was able to get the rest of it off a lot more easily.

And yes I made sure to get it all off before reassembling things. Took me 15 minutes to swap out the springs and 2 hours to get the gasket off. Grrrr...
