    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.

Okay, now that I have figured out how to post pictures here's the after picture.

I bought the bike a couple of years ago and as you can see I have made a few modifications from the previous owner. He had chopped the rear section of the frame off and put a hard fender on, added "firebird" stickers, a harley sportster seat, taller handle bars, headlight from an intruder and God knows what else. To return it to a more stock looking bike I shopped Ebay for the tail section and another fellow GS'r who had bobbed his bike sold me the rear frame section, seat lock, turn signals, more plastic and so on. I had the frame welded, installed the stock tailpiece, new 'O' rings for the carb, and stage III jet kit with pods. Keith Krause gave me a lot of tips for tuning the carb. I had a new neighbor move in across the street who was a painter and $100 and 8 months later (what is it with painters?) my tank side covers, tail and fender were repainted. I have also added new clutch and throttle cables and new side cover emblems. I'm still not done (when are you ever DONE) and have purchased ZRX shocks and am looking for an alum swing arm to install. I have some GSXR wheels but I don't know if I want to swap the entire front end out. It has an '83 1100 rear wheel and I'm trying to find a matching front. The paint really made a difference. I hope you enjoy the pics, I know I have benefitted greatly from the input of the people on this website.:-D
