    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.

well the old 1100 has served me well and its time for a face lift of sorts. i usally buy and seel these old bike for the whores they are but this one stuck around. looking for ideas for the face lift. plans are as follows:
repair oil leak- go though carbs
fork swap- have some gsxr fork from the mid to late 90's but looking for nice usd
wheel swap- these are the worst looking wheel and want wider tire
switch exhaust around
maybe extended swinger and mono-shock swap maybe
loose all the bs mirrors reflectors ect ect
i want to do something with the rear section of the frame, maybe a different tail section

really im looking for ideas, pics, ect. i have more resources at my hands than most so im not scared to make things. any useful info would great. heres a pic before it got put away last year. end result i want something that looks different but still functions as it should. i ride a lot and want it to be something to be proud of. starting with this one and if it turns out well ill move to another one.
pics before i put it away last year:

If I was going to go for it, thats what I would do. We might have to change the tank and the side covers too.:D

That's a custom Kawasaki Z1 hiding under all that purple paint. The tail section is a custom piece, but the tank and side covers look like stock Z1 parts to me.
