    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.

repost of controls

hERE i AM AGAIN.Someone on this forum posted forward controls on his bike recently.it is very possible to do, just not the way i was doing it.I wanted to make splined couplers for the rear brake to stick out 3 inches to clear the right side engine cases, but never wanted to spend 2200 dollars for the cutter to do it.But at least 2 guys here recently did it a different way.The brake lever extends straight down instead of straight forward about 5 inches or so and has the linkage hooked to that in the back and thwe way i did it in the front using the former crash bar mounting holes.the controls themselves is like making a door hinge.the inside "pin" is welded immobile, and the outer tube rotates around it with its travle in a circle wise fashion being limited byt having linkage conncected to it.Mount a handmade lever/rod sticking out from the moving part for you fut to ress down on to activate the rear brake and a peg on the end of the immoveable rod part and you have the right side.repeat for the left.only on the left all you do is turn the shifting peg straight down and cut the rubber peg off.drill a hole in its end, connect the linkage to it in the back and to the crash bar site in the front like you did on the brake side.Look at any harley.you see on the shifter side a lot of linkage going up and over the engine case.Its the same thing on the gs, only you go under the cases.I myself would like to see some pics from the guy that recently did this.His bike was either a 850 or 1000.Ron.
