    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.

Slight bend in frame great.

If it is your daily ride and not a show piece, it rides straight hands off and has no bad manners in the corners, leave it be, I can assure you there is no danger of the thing coming apart on you, I have T boned a car so hard on my 850 it lodged the frond wheel firmly between the header pipers and up against the motor, not the slightest bend or twist on the steering head or any cracked welds.
Can't say the same for me though, came out of hospital with a lot more steel than I went in with., my doc keeps telling me to loose weight, I tell him, its the steel inside me that is so heavy.

These bikes are built like brick sh1thouses, but the one thing to look for is under the tank.
If you lift the tank off, you will see the two pipes running rearwards, either side of the main spine.
Put your fingers under those two pipes and feel for any kinks, if you feel kinks under there, you are in trouble, I means the steering head has moved and the bike is not straight.
Be aware, there is a pretty tight radius turn where the pipes bend down, don't kak yourself and mistake it for a kink, that is normal.
If it is bent, as Tom said, your best bet is $100 junker as an organ donor.
