    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.

She looks fantastic!
I also love the dual exhaust pipes. Very classy. :cool:

Thanks, I cant wait to fire this thing up again. Hopefully its not deathly loud. I think its going to be ok though. Just a small fear I have. :)
 
You started with this pile! :(

Very impressive transformation! :cool:
You just need a chain guard from a GSX model to finish it off.


Daniel
 
HAHA yep its changed a tad. I'll look into a GSX chain guard. Completely overlooked that piece of the bike.
 
Looks very nice. Are you going to leave the engine side covers as is?
 
That looks absolutely awesome. I would stay sans chain guard.
It looks raw and fast the way it is.

Bruce.

I dont know yet. Both sides have a bit of rash on them so if I put much time into them I'd probably be better off getting replacements first. I think I might do the insides of the circular areas black. And maybe letter something in there or pinstripe it. Could paint them all black too. Was just thinking it might be too much black. I dunno.
 
Finally actually got the front wheel centered. Mocked up the fender to drill some new mounting holes. Leave it this way with more fender in the back or flip it around??? Hung the brakes. need to make a plate for the bottom mount though since went from leading axle forks.

Why do you have to be in Canada. That tank came out so beautiful that you would have been first on my list to send mine to get the dents pulled and repainted. Really did come out lovely.
 
Just for fun tonight I was running some numbers on how much I'd spent on this bike. For a while I didn't really want to know because I thought I'd put too much into it. But I think I'm doing alright so far.

Up until tonight I was just over $1000 including purchase price. And just ordered tires to add another $265 to that. Haven't decided if that counts as its just maintenance of owning a bike. :)

Hopefully more work tomorrow. Got in a new rear set for the shifter side which allows me to mount the shifter right to the peg instead of individually. I think its going to work better.
