    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.

Two holes in the headlight bucket - why?

I am putting a round headlight on my 1981 GS750E. I'll tell why, since I know someone will ask. 1. The factory plastic housing is age cracked on one side. 2. I think it looks better (see 1982 version).

My question is this; Why are there two holes in the back of the housing. The housing, or bucket, is for a GS750.

The best I can guess is that it would allow me to put some wires in, or pass some wires through the bucket.

Please let me what the real answer is. THANKS!
 
Hey thanks! Now I'll have to figure out how to not bend in the speedo/tach cables too much. It seems pretty tight if I try using the same mounting "ears." I may have to switch them out.

Thanks again.
