    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.

1982 Gsx 1100 electric question

I found a Gsx frame sitting in a back yard paid $100 for it and decided to convert this bike to electric, that way I can retain this classic while being environmentally Conscientious. I have a basic knowledge of cars, I can change my own oil, stuff like that. but I'm not nearly as good with motorcycles.

The electric drive train is is planned and engineered, but before I moved to buying parts I need to learn more about the original mechanisms that will remain with the bike. I'm assuming that the brakes work with the vacuum the engine makes and I will need an electric vacuum pump and run it with the 12v dc system.

So Will I need vacuum pump? If How powerf?ull
 
No vacuum assist on these bikes - they're straight hydraulic and will work completely independently of anything else on the bike.

Interesting project - not my bag but sounds like fun - piccies needed!
