    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.

My 1170 is still a wreck so we picked this bike up. 78 1000. Gsxr 1100 forks and wheels, aluminum swinger. Kind of a rat for now....

Factory tank is being evapo-rusted. Honda doesn't look that bad.

Few questions. Will an 82 1100e motor fit into this frame? Are 78 cases different than 82 e?
 
I cant help you with your questions, but I look forward to seeing this project.
Good to see you back also.
 
Thanks Glen. I'm always lurking around here even when I don't have a project going.

Wheels will be powder coated black eventually.

Anyone know if the 16v e engine will fit in this frame?
 
Yes but you'll need to make up new motor plates. Do some searching there is info on here. You'll also likely have a problem with Carb/petcock interference but with the Honda tank... who knows?!
 
After digging through several pages it looks like it bolts in minus the bottom mounts. I'll have to pull my 16v and see how bad the damage is first...
 
Successful 16v swap. First run on that motor since I crashed it.
