    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.

Hi Guys does anyone know if the gs850 side panels are indentical to gs1000g,In the UK i can only source repro panels for the 850 or does anyone know of another source apart from scrap/junk/breakers...Cheers Paul J...
 
I have just compared mine GS1000GT (1980) to a GS850GT (1980) and they seem to be the same. If yours is another year and model then it could differ.
Could you let me have the source in the UK for the repro covers if possible

Are you replacing missing or damaged panels? If they are damaged, it may be possible to have them/it repaired. I have sucessfully repaired one of mine.

I repaired one of mine for the same reason. I used a 6mm bolt about the same length as the original stud and ground the head to a domed shape. I then cut a piece of 1.6m (1/16'') thick steel about 30mm square. I drilled four small holes in the plate to allow an epoxy resin to key onto the steel and the inside suraface of the cover.
Next a nut was screwed onto the bolt and I lightly tack welded the nut to the plate. I made one small tack so that I could adjust the angle of the bolt to align correctly to the rubber doenut on the bike frame. I then did two small welds to secure the nut to the plate. After the nut and bolt has been welded to the plate the whole assy can be glued to the cover. Take care to align the new spigot correctly before the glue sets.
If you don't have the original spigots as samples, I can take a pic of my repair.
