    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Need some advice if anyone can help. I'm doing a light conversion to a Cafe Racer. Does anyone know what tank will fit (using the rear mounts) that is a smooth sided tank with no cut outs to accept the side plastic panels?

Also , any suggestions for a cafe seat?

Thanks...probably more questions to follow :)

No other tank will fit, without modifying the tank, the frame, or both.

You will have to fabricate it yourself if you want something other than the stock pan.

The bike you're talking about is probably one of the worst GSes to "Caf?" because no body parts from any other model will fit it. Furthermore, it has an electronic tach that was shared by only two other GS models, so your choices on gauges are going to be customized creations of your own if you want to go for a "minimalist" look. Mmaybe some early GSXR gauges will work fairly easily, but that's probably going to be about it.

Have you ever "caf?d" a motorcycle before? If so, I'd like to see one of your creations.
