    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.

New to the site and ready to build a cafe bike out of my 78 GS750 I just picked up. I'm sure I'll be asking questions as I run into issues, but I'm pretty excited to just dig in and get it running at the moment. I plan on doing it proper and not cutting any corners. Right now the wiring is a mess, it is missing an ignition coil, and it has a 6" extended swingarm that I am not a fan of. So first thing is to get it running.

Here it is prior to any work.

Actually first thing was to get a stock swingarm back on it....did I mention it had solid bars instead of shocks bolted up to the extended swingarm..SMH.
Nonetheless....now onto the wiring and getting this project running. Wish me luck!
