    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.

So any news?Been a bit since you've checked in.

Hello! SVSooke.

Hello everyone!

Yes, yes, my apologies for such a huge time not doing anything on my GS!
I was not minded for it, personal stuff in the way.

But i kicked my butt yesterday morning and have been at it 14 hours since then.
Actually, i am on vacation for almost 6 more days, which i plan to spend in the garage working on that sweetie!

So , yeah, took me a lil time to clean the garage which got crowded with stuff this winter, then to find back where was everything!

and now, i got a rolling chassis!

To get there, had to finish the front shocks, fill'em up.
Had to go to my dad's mechanic to help me push the lower steering bearing down the shaft!
I tried, and tried, was afraid to damaged the bearing, it took like 3 minutes with the man's press, damn! i want one!

Sanded and cleaned parts here and there around the rear part of the bike.

I stole the rear suspension of my part bike (which as a LOT less mileage on it) had it checked by a motorcycle dealer close by, cleaned it good, put in my project.

when i was about to put the rear wheel, realized i got excited too fast, and guess what... forgot the rear break system... you know the lil asswhipped thingy that you CANNOT put or remove without removing the swing arm/suspension assembly, dammmmmmn!

The good thing is, now i can do all that with my eyes closed! :P

Finished the rear wheel, and put it in.


A big thank to the part bike, that has been ripped off a good lot so far.

and the exhaust line that needs a good sanding, cleaning, painting, as always anyway.

By the way, i ll have to check/clean the 3 calipers, can i push the cylinder out by blowing in a straw? :P

pardon the expression, but it feels F*ckin good to see the frame back on wheels!:lol:
