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.

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.

    Dented 1000s tank restore

    Just 2 cents worth, Thinking weather "E" or "S" the pet cock location is different from the "79" model to the "80" model due to different carbs.

    How strict was school back in the day?

    Pretty sure I was in the 8th grade (1967), I sold more magazines than anybody else. I won several prizes, 3 or 4 hunting knives, a big Bowie knife on a wall plaque, and a Mossberg 22 cal. automatic rifle. All were delivered to the school and I took them home on the school bus, my brother still...

    Gradually gets harder to start and conks out after 8 miles ish

    Our starter-alternator guy said it was easier & quicker for him to modify brushes he had on the shelf than to try to get them for my nieces Honda 250 4 wheeler. For him it seemed no big deal... No clue about your electrical problem.

    Too many GSs to choose from

    Don't see a problem. It's not some kind of specialty bike like an "S" or a Kawa. "Lawson Replica, it's a GS1000. Whatever "you" like is fine. Put the 78 bodywork on and just be honest, a "79" bike with "78" bodywork cause it looks much better. I'd be wishing the "78" bodywork was from a...
