    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.

got my GS going my way now and the pieces came in from paint today. still lacks the 1/4 fairing. Upgrades include: andrews coils, dyna s, and PAINT.
Still have to send the old seat pan to Sargent's for upgrades and matching piping. i wanted it up for the rally but it was not to be. the wife says we will attend next time if it kills us.
i tried to put one of the old pics and a couple of the new. but i don't know how.

thanks for the help and inspiration.

Great paint theme! I am going to paint my 850 this winter with the same paint theme as yours. What colour tint of blue is it painted and does pin striping separate the white from the blue tint. Thanks Ted

Robin,
'It's not bolted up yet.
Just a mock up for now.


I'm sure when it's al ldone, we'll see a beautiful transformation
has taken place.
 
thanks folks, yea it is just mocked up for now, the carbs are off as i have new
rubber holders from bike bandit to install, the exhaust (4into1) is off for welding some spots and paint as well as the black engine paint to go on.
the yard is my brother in-laws, out next to the pasture where old junk goes to die.
i bought paint from auto color in marietta for 94.00. dupont enamel w/ all the fixin's (hardner,reducer,cups etc.) very helpful staff. 2 Wrights body shop in rockmart painted it. should have some updated pics in afew days in running shape.
 
have pics but i'm on dialup so tooooo sloooowww. i will post some to the original pic link by 1800 EST on Monday (from work).
took it on a shakedown cruise today and she is sweet! the new valve cover and tensioner rebuild did the trick as it was oil tight. the tensioner o rings and seal were like iron they were so hard. no wonder it leaked. did not install the dyna yet. the stator for the Kawi will be here tues so i will wait for it to be up before tackling the dyna. my wife said she could see me grin thru the back of the full face helmet as we rode. nice ride, the Kaw is back to backup and tour duty. this Suzi is now my daily driver!! again..
 
new pics added
goto: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bbemt/album?.dir=c362


including the broken shield and ding from a spill in diesel fuel all in the road less than 24 hrs after 1st test ride w/ new paint!
grrr put your stupid fuel cap on NIMNO!!
couple of raspberries and the minor damage you see is all. called speedmotoco and they have a new shield on the way.
 
That really looks sharp.

I just got my stuff back from the painter....I feel your joy! \\:D/
