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.

Welcome to the forum.
Hope I'm not stating anything TOO obvious, but a good place to start would be to add a front wheel, an engine, fuel tank, etc., etc., etc.
Seriously, unless you have had this bike running recently and/or know its history, get it running first, THEN do your modifications.

Ok so I take it guys here seem against the idea of creating a "one of a kind" gs. I bought the bike as a non runner from traffic dept 6 months ago and in 6 months after reading almost every thread on this site I still can't get the motor to idle nevermind run and the only things I haven't done is rings and stem seals, but I'm getting there. While I'm waiting to find spares that don't cost me an arm and leg I've decided to turn this into the gs of all time,, so with or without help from what I'm guessing are the best people to speak to atout a gs I'm on a mission. I'll send pictures of how it works out
There are indeed folks here that modify their bikes, and I have a couple myself that I'll be making "unique" in the next year or so, but there are a lot if "purists" here, and for good reason in my opinion. The GS is such a great bike and they are very well put together and not as common these days and when someone hacks up a clean example, only to then complain about how it doesn't run or ride right...
Do what you like, keep reading up, search and then ask questions if you need help - as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
