    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.

Side panel Badge alignment

For some reason it has always bothered me a little bit that the panel badge is not parallel to the ground when moving. So I am gong to drill another hole (after using a laser level to get a true straight line) so I can mount some new badges I just got. Anyone else done that? I don't see any references to it in the forums.
Also, I see that the new badges have tape and the 'stems' the poke through the panel do not have a groove for a c-clip. I thought they had c-clips to help retain them.
 
I guess I should have said which bike! DOH! the 80 ' 1100E
They are nose down.
 
I guess it might be just me, but I would prefer to have the badges horizontal at rest...when someone looking at the bike can actually see them.

nevertheless, the badges on the sidepanels of my 650 have retainers, but they are pretty well fixed and I wouldn't refer to them as "c" clips (i.e. easily removable)
 
Mine are not horizontal at rest or moving....
I note also that my panels have 4 holes and the new badges have only 2 posts.
 
They are held on with speed nuts not E clips.
