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.

Can anyone tell me why me rear shock has so much space where it goes on the frame? I'm sure these are the stock shocks so I guess I shouldn't worry and just buy new shocks.

Are you missing some stuff inside that shock?

I'm thinking I am, I don't remember anything falling out when I took them off and have no parts lying around. I'm scratching my head...lol.

No worries at all...
shock absorbers are supposed to self-eject off of the bike at speed.
Thus placing the fender onto the tire to slow you down.

It's missing a spacer. Most hardware stores should carry one.
My new progressive shocks came with a new spacer.

Its looks like the eyelet bushing is missing?

Is that what they call it?
Lets see, if I remember correctly, theres a rubber bushing with an inner metal sleeve.
Perhaps you can see it in this shock auction, shocks are rubber mounted to a degree.

I'm not going to worry about it and order new shocks from Z1.
I'm not sure what weight springs to get though. I'm 6' and right at 200lbs.
I don't plan to have anyone ride with me but might put a rack on the back.

I've bought a few parts but still need a few things.
Thanks 5azzmonkey for the help on getting my SS brake lines.
Picked these up for $30.00
It will be a little while before I put these on.
The upper part of the triple is off the same bike as the forks (93) but the lower is from a 96 and don't seem to be the right size.
I'm guess these forks are 52 top 54 bottom but the lower from the 96 is 56 bottom.

It will be a year or more before I do the conversion bonanzadave. I just bought new tires, sprockets and chain so will ride it till those need replacing first. I'll keep you in mind when I take them off.

Started doing a little polishing. This is my 1st time so it's not the best but it's looking better each time I try.

i see at some time the previous owners have tried reinventing the wheel on that oil filter cover. Why do people do this when suzuki provided the means to put a cooler on it from day one by putting the gallery plugs either side of the cover
My oil filter cover has the plugs for a cooler, leading me to believe it either had one in it's past life or it's a 1150 cover.
