    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.

Hi MK3Brent. Rear wheel came without disc, so off to wrecking yard for me! The one I used is from a 1200 Bandit I think. A lot of Suzukis are interchangable. Cheers, Adrian

Hi busaash,apologies for the delay in replying- for anyone's interest, the blue is a Dupont Centari Colour 600 basecoat. Navistar Blue, Formula ID 4286538. Hope this helps. Also, would be willing to make seat base for anyone who is interested. A warning though- they require a minor amount of work around edges to line up with bodywork at back, original steel bumper brackets can be used, but you will need to drill the spot welds on your original rusty base and then rivet or bolt them onto the fibreglass base. I will mold 8mm aluminium into 'glass to enable original hinges and catch to be bolted on after drill and tapping to 6mm. Can make in black gel to save painting, but will be gloss finish. If there's any interest, I will work out a price.

I would be interested by one seat base!
 
Hi John, will work out price and get back to you- you are in France??
 
Well, got seat back, trimmer made great job, have cut header pipe at collector box and welded a 2" secondary pipe on. Got headers back from Ceramic Coating today and mounted up. Looks great!

Oh yeah, a budget, rat bike resto. Just get the bike running. Don't bother washing or cleaning it. Just ride it. I've thought of that. Never happens. And I've had 5 attempts.
 
Yay! It goes!! After 2 years, it started instantly, engine is quiet, first 2 gears work, haven't tried any more yet. Fuel was ****ing out overflows while running, so packed it up to Greg T for a carb tickle up. Should get it back in a few days. I'm pretty happy with how it's all turned out, and can't wait to ride it.
