    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.

GS 650 GL teardown

Over last summer I rebuilt the motor on my GS 650 GL. I did a mock up to make sure everything worked properly. I have now drawn inspiration from those new Chopper shows on Discovery channel. I cant afford a chopper so I decided to build my own from my GS. Everything is off the frame now. I will sand blast the frame, paint it Canary Yellow with metal flake. The tank and fenders will be the same color yellow with deep purple flames. The engine will be polished. Chrome swing arm. I am modifying the blinkers so they dont stick out so much. I am extending the forks to give it a longer look. I'm cutting the foam down on the seat pan for a lower profile look and recovering it. I'll get 10 inch high rise handlebars from JC Whitney. Any other suggestions? Besides a head doctor...
 
OK, maybe the GS should be left alone. My friends think the bike looks good stock anyway. Does anyone know of a good painter near Illinois that wont charge me an arm and a leg for a stock paint job? Also, I need the stock GS 650 emblums for the side covers, Suzuki dealer dont have them anymore.
