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.

  • 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 love the look of this bike, but I don't know if I could get myself to ride with only one mirror and no turn signals. Which handlebars are those? And what did that gas tank come off of?
 
Hmm, i kinda like that.. Work looks clean...

Riding without mirrors would bother me, but who really uses turn signals anymore? I usually just use my hands.
 
Where's the horn and hi/lo switches? I would have put all these posts in the same thread, less chance of one getting lost after a while...

Does look neat tho.
 
Hey, I like the flat minimal style. Would you mind posting a side view?
 
Nice job,

a little FYI, you can insert up to 5 images per single post. It's a less cluttered way of showing your bike, than taking up server space with severall different posts with one pic

The tank is stock, and the handlebars are dragbars ,which I cut off
1 & 7/8 of an inch at the each end.

The horn and the hi/lo switches are in a parts box now, along w/ a bunch of other parts I took off of the bike.
I like the minimalist look.

Here's the request:
GS100002-1.jpg


It's still in the works. I'm debating if I should paint the bike gun metal gray
w/ some flat black touches. At the moment I have it painted w/flat black primer. The seat still needs to be worked a bit more. And the space between the tail piece and the side covers ( under the rear ,side edge of the seat ) needs something. Perhaps a rectangular red reflector.

That looks great, I really like the minimal style you have going on. Is that the ignition on the side panel? I would be a bit worried about hitting it with my leg and snapping the key off. Although, I suppose your thigh would be above and to the front of that. The drum tuning crank is a nice touch on the headlight bucket!

Hi Steely, I actually sat on the bike and figured out the best place to mount the tignition switch on the right side cover. I was concerned about the leg hitting it as well.
In regards to the headlight bucket. I wanted to avoid the common bolt head fastener, So I started thinking of other type fasteners that I had laying around the house that were not motorcycle or car related,and I found some in my extra drum parts box. I tried them on the bike, and they ended up looking better than I expected.

Safe riding! H

What's the difference between a drummer and a pizza?































A pizza can feed a family of four!:-D

BTW, nice bike....
 
Well, ONE!

Well, ONE!

How can you tell if a drummer is at your door?




















The knock slows down! (insert rimshot here)
