    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.

You can simply click his pictures as well. They get bigger. I think having to use a hosting site is stupid and nothing more than a way for outside entities to have a look at everyones photos. Ill keep hating the one pic per post rule thanks.

Hosting all pictures on the GSR would enlargen the bill significantly, methinks. Also, you're already showing your pictures to random strangers on the interwebs...?

Anyway, not to derail the thread further. Looking forward to watch the build progress.
 
Hi been a while since I last posted should have a decent update soon . Just a quick question does anyone know if a exhaust off a gs550 katana will fit my gs550 ex I've seen a Marvin pipe in black for the katana . But I've only seen chrome ones for my model . Cheers in advance
 
A Katana pipe will certainly fit the cylinder head, and I'm almost (but not 100%) sure that the silencer will fit ok. If it doesn't fit exactly, it shouldn't be too hard to fabricate a bracket. There's a new UK member here who has a 550EX, or maybe EZ, that has a full Kat system fitted. If you can find him (I can't remember his name right now), he would know if it is an exact fit.
 
So a little bit of progress had wheels powder coated and tyres fitted IMG_0116.jpg
 
Also had some work done on frame rear loop done rear mudguard brackets made and rear guard electrics tray done and a seat base made also had some work done on petrol tank had a monza cap welded on and the tank pared were the petrol flap cover was IMG_1322.jpg
 
So that's about we're I am at min . I've been reading a lot about reg/rec and I'm going to get the sh775 . Does anyone no were I could get one from in U.K. If not in the I will have to buy one from US . Were would be best place to buy one in US thanks . Should have more updates in next week or so
 
Been a while but bikes coming along .managed to find some spoke wheels for it.had them powder coated and stainless spokes .working on wiring m unit up.also had a exhaust made .Resized_20171114_133329.jpg
 
What model are the intake filters, and where did you get them?

Nice looking progress.
 
Hey Yozzer, I'm doing a scrambler build on a 81 gs550 as well. Not sure if you found any rear shocks yet but I bought some 340mm piggy back shocks on eBay. They are a cheaper brand but my buddy runs them on his bikes and they do really well. Also I was wondering what your spoke wheels came off of? I'd like to switch from the mags also
