    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...

    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.

Plastic fenders that fit a 1978 GS1000E

Folks,

Are there any plastic fenders from a later model of GS that fit the 1978 GS1000E - I would like to trim one into a custom shape and using a plastic one would suit my purposes much better.

Also, my original chrome steel one has a large wrinkle in it :-(
 
I have one, but to make sure, give me the distance between fork legs at the flanges they bolt to please.
 
No, I mean between the left fork and the right fork fender mounting surface.
 
The 83 GS1100E plastic one fits fine. I have one fitted right now to the skunk. I am not using the metal fork brace that it comes with (as I have a Tarozzi fork brace fitted).

I believe it will still fit whether you use the metal brace or not.

Salty - that's exactly what I was looking for!

tkent02 - is the aforementioned fender the one you have?
