    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.

ok i have a 1980 gs100gl

really getting tired of the wheel barrow look, what are some good options?

would like to move forward, and down quite a bit.

which ones will fit? and which ones will work with the factory controls?

kind like the street fighter look... or at least trying to shoot for that look...

-thanks

got the motocross dirtbike bars on my 82 GS650g.....love em.

I couldn't decide between the 2 1/2 inch rise bars or drag bars.
And my local shop only had motocross bars in stock, and they were actually a perfect mix between the two.

One warning though, you'll probably have to adjust your throttle cable since your changing the slack, and these cables don't really like movement of any kind,lol, so when you turn you're wheel, the RPM's go up or down,haha.
All you do is just adjust the 2 lock nuts on the cable, one on the bottom and one on top.....that'll fix it.

Also, might have to adjust clutch nut too.
 
i put drag bars on my 81gs1100e i love them give it a way better look and i kept all my stock cables. i would however like 1inch risers tho just for long rides. can post some pics tomorrow with me on it to give ya an idea of how ya sit. let me know

Hi Mr. DM8761,

Many members have swapped their "buckhorn" bars for either Daytona bend or Superbike bars. Any bar with 7/8" diameter will fit. With shorter bars you will have to re-route the cables unless you buy shorter ones. Welcome to the forum.

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
