    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.

Hey guys,

This is one that I have been working on for a while now.. Still not done but working on it. It is not a resto project but an idea that I had and wanted to see what could be done.
The tail was chopped previous to me obtaining the bike so I went with the new design. Please don't hammer me too hard on the non-vintage look. I think the lines of the bike work out well, and am really pleased with how it is turning out.

I still have engine work as well as shock work to do on the front and back.
 
It looks great!
What is the dots that line the frame rail behind the engine?
Please don't say that those are some stupid lights or Harley studs. :(

They used to be lights... Since that pic was taken the factory headlight bucket was put in and wired up. The stabilizer bars for the top edge of the fairing were fabricated and put in and all of the lighting was removed.
 
Wow, well done Trinity... That looks great, very unusual.
A nice hybrid Classic GS/R1 type thingy...

wow.. i did not even notice that.. that's cool.. thanks for the compliments on the bike.. it is a 1980 GS850 core with a 2005 GSXR600 tail. it was a nice match for the bike and the ride height is perfect.. did not change at all from the stock ride height.
 
I thought of putting all of the electronics under the seat and doing the clean look through the battery area. Might be a good look too. Not sure...
 
Thanks for all of the positive comments. I am really happy with how it is turning out. Just got a whole new engine to replace the one in it. No paint on it just polished aluminum. I think it will look better. Not so "Storm Trooper-ish".. although it does look good with a black engine...
