    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.

I thought i was done putting everything back together, but I seem to have a straggler part.. Does it have a place on my 1980 GS1100E or did it creep into my parts pile ? It looks like a set of ignition points, but I don't see anything similar in the GS1100E parts fiche ?
 
Unless someone drastically altered your ignition system and changed it over to a point style ignition system, that isn't from your bike.
 
thanks.. once again this forum delivers.. this time it outed a " rat ", that thought it might be funny to add an extra item to my rebuild inventory, and watch me struggle.. (when he saw my post on this forum, he new the jig was up, and confessed.. ) no beers for him.. wisenhoffer..
 
Had that happen a few years ago at a GoldWing rally. Not one that was officially sanctioned by our Association, just a gathering of many of the forum users. It was held at a member's house, 'headquarters' was his new 40' x 50' shop. :eek:

One of the guys had called the day before, saying he would not be able to make it because the stator had gone out on his bike (yeah the Wings had stator problems too, up to '87). He was told to trailer the bike there and bring his new stator, we would change it. One of the other guys there had changed a few Wing stators, so they started on the job. Changing a Wing stator is not nearly as easy as changine a GS stator. You have to remove the engine to get to it. :eek:

Some wise guy (NOT me

) added a couple of spacers to the neatly arranged piles of hardware on the floor. Working in a shop, it's not that unusual to accidentally find an extra bolt or nut, but a spacer is rather specific, so they spent some time trying to figure out where they went. Each thought the other had removed it and put it in the pile.

The perpetrator finally confessed. He was given all the appropriate treatments and banished from the shop. In spite of the setback, the bike was up and running again about 8 hours from parking it in the shop.

Always remember they throw a few extra bolts on a bike to confuse you, then leave a few off to further confuse.
I lost the two bolts that hold down the rear bodywork in my rebuild,just my luck they were a unique length and I had to cut a longer pair to size:mad:
