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.

Yea I know, sold my last Harley a 2000 FLHT (Standard Bagger) 4 years ago with 116,000 miles on it for $3,500.00 it had chrome kit and big bore kit.

Also had a 85 FXR that I made a "Pro Street" type bike. Had polished El Bruto 113 motor & Baker 6 speed. A real bad ass bike and made a ton of money on it.
 
Got it running, blocked vacuum line at both petcock and carbs, using prime. It runs ok at 5000 rpm & up but no power below, I have to rev the **** out of it to take off. Any ideas?
 
I bought the carburetor rebuild kit from him and rebuild them as per his instructions I have the original set of this bike that needs rebuilt hopefully they work better.
 
Just weighing in on the SOHC4 Honda vs. Suzuki GS - I have a 75 CB750 I've owned for six years and love to death. In my experience, It's been harder to work on the Honda than the '80 Suzuki, because the Suzuki is more evolved (like, you can't get to the head on the CB without pulling the motor!). The Japanese figured out a lot of stuff in five years.
 
120 or 125 straight across I forget which but all the. Same
 
Ima gunna git me a accont on that thar Kawsaki form with a user name like Pa Yamaha, and tell em all house I likes me muh Yamaha better than alls those KZs cuz it gits better then 5 mile more pur tankful. And wen I cell it, Ima gunna git a a real motersickle! And FZ anythang!

I really don't see the attraction to these bikes, I just seen a really nice all original GS550l about same year as mine listed on CL for $2500 it sold but not sure for actual selling price. A Honda of that quality would go for 10 grand.
