    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.

Hey guys I just wanted to show my dads new 850L I've been working on. When we got the bike it was pretty rough. it didn't start, had a bad oil leak, was a wiring disaster, back brakes didn't work, battery was bad, one of the PO painted the engine with a rattle can engine paint but only what you could see, and that mixed with the loose camshaft end covers caused oil to leak everywhere and the engine looked terrible. The header was missing 4/8 bolts, the spark plugs were finger tight, clutches were not adjusted one of the PO cut the stops off the triple tree so the forks hit the tank Needless to say the bike needed some major TLC. After 2 months and a lot of hours I finally laid the new paint on it this weekend and it will be reassembled next week. Here are some photos hopefully photobucket doesn't crash again here is after I polished the engine case and the rear peg brackets
