    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I have to say I was a bit nervous about picking up this gs550e project. I've owned a few bikes over the past 10 to 15 years and enjoyed riding every one of them. I've done little things here and there, but never took on a huge project where i bought a bike literally in pieces not knowing where anything really goes. Well i have to say thanks to this site and a few videos on YouTube I've been having the time of my life with this build! Honeslty thinking, after i get this bike running i might have to pick up another so i can do it again! I have learned so much about how motors, carbs, and electrical components work, it's unreal! Never in my life did i ever think I'd be rejetting and shimming the needles in my carbs on my kitchen table!!! Hahaha this really has been a great experience, and hopefully once this bike is put together i can get her tuned and running well, with the help of this community i have no doubts! Thank you again!
 
Welcome! The sense of accomplishment and confidence you'll gain from doing your own work is second to none. Heading out for an extended trip on an antique motorcycle may seem foolish to many but when you're able to brush off those kind of comments and strike out on your own you truely know what the essence of freedom is really all about.
