    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.

I too am interested in the pods on that bike. It'd be nice to know of a source that wasn't over $150 for four little filters. I mean at that price I'm considering creating my own.

One of my favorite bikes on the forum. The yellow wires just make it stand out so much.

Is the front fender stock, or did you paint it that way?
 
Chazz, that's a beautiful bike, but get the 90 degree ends of those plug wires on the plugs so they're not hangin' out so far. I switched mine around on a Kaw KZ I once had, & they looked a lot better. My opinion, but they're not only longer (more resistance between coil & plug) but they tend to get in the way or worse, snag on something.

I just have a hunch you'll like it better, too.

Are those Accell wires/coils?
 
first off sorry i took so long to reply back, second those pods are k&n they come 2 per box and thats all you need, they ae still 150 bucks no way around it. if you want them just go to k&n web site and look up a 82 gs550mz that will give you the model number.

the fender is oem painted thats the way it came in 81

Haha, won't do me much good lol, darn (twin, not a 4). Thanks though, I still like they way those look.
 
only when you clean her up, strip her down and make her purdy then it will count...... maybe for now just a wash would be a good start. you are almost there, i hope to see a awsome beast this spring.
