    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.

I kinda forgot about this place, sorry! I figured I'd show some pics of Snowflake from when I got it to now.

The day it came home.

It had a windshield, but I took it off before the pics.

The OEM speedometer was off so I put on a bicycle computer to get the correct speed.

So I painted the tank as well. The windshield is on as is the backpack cuz I was spending a lot of time at my gf at the time's house & doing a lot of commuting. Also replaced the stock bars with some off a 4 wheeler.

Removed the rear fender, shortened signals in and put the tail light from the Bridgestone on it.

Then I flipped the bars, but that was uncomfortable so now I have some bars off my mountain bike on there. 26" width, 1.5" rise and about 7? backsweep.

When March gets here I'm bringing home an '88 GSX600/Katana then Snowflake here will most likely have the front brake removed, rear shocks replaced with struts and, if I can figure out how, make is a 1 seater.
 
So black on black with a little bit of black, eh?
Does the gasmask get hot during a long ride?
 
Never seen rear turn signals hang down like that .. interesting
 
Macguyver - Hasn't melted at all yet so it seems to be good. The longest I've gone with it on there is only a couple hours though.

mriddle - It's the only way I could get them in closer.
