    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.

Been wondering how the GS1000GT would look/handle as bobber.
Any links to projects/photos you may have found will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey Bob,

PM me with your e-mail and I have a few pics of a 2 valve 1100 bobber that I saw on E-bay a while back.

Although my name isn't Bob, i think I can give you an answer on that.

the history of the bobber goes back to the days when WW II had just ended. fighterpilots stripped their Harley Davidsons and make it as light as possible so they could race them. They made the first bobber. they removed the front fender and putted it up side down as a rear fender. (the Ducktail as we know it is the result of that.) They also stripped anything that wasn't needed for racing.

On the next picture is a good example of a bobber

In europe they use older triumphs and japanees bikes to create the bobber look. There are not so many GS bobbers, but the pictures below will give a good example of what japanees bobbers look like

It's not a GS, but i will give you an idea what a bobber is.
