    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.

No kidding. Frank doesn't boot people for good behavior. He does it for REPEATEDLY poor behavior. I have some unsolicited personal emails from the guy insulting me if you need some further evidence of what kind of guy Eric is.

I am not sure which I find more sad, that he offended so many members for so long or that he does not realize he did it. IDK.
 
I think that you guys should just let Eric go, & get back to the original topic of dropping revs for touring.

So true!

I installed one of those later 1100 final drive units on my first 850 and it had a noticeable effect of dropping rpm's. The bike lost some acceleration, but the cruise rpm's dropped down to what I thought was a very nice middle ground. A 6th gear would have been better, that way acceleration through the gears wouldn't have suffered by jacking the rear end ratio, but overall it was a nice improvement.:D
 
I would love to drop the highway revs on my GK. Am putting a 17" rear wheel on next tire change. That'll help about 3-4%. Should help handling too. I think the 1100 has enough torque that acceleration won't be affected much at all.
