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, Wah. Bobbers don't go over very big here with some, but atleast your not chopping a pristine bike to do it. Just to be a little different, have you thought of maybe building a street tracker? They are mostly made from twins, but I think an inline four will look good also.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Yes you are right. A lot of really good info here. I've been thumbing thru the site for a few days now learning what I can about the bike. This site has been a help and figured I would join.
Sorry if I get under anyone's skin. It is never my intention. But I've Always wanted to build my own bike and this one just happened to fall on my lap really cheap. Again sorry if I upset anyone with the intentions of the bike.

Helloo from about 30 miles west of you.
I had 82 GS650 for 20+ years (but was a G) (G is shaft drive).
Never had to do much on it, never needed much of anything, since it was new. Well, other than valve adjust, but I took to dealer for that.
(did learn to do such things on my own after got an 850 in 1994, that was not so new by then)
Looks like your 650 has already been hacked and painted all over.
Thanks for posting. THanks for pic.
I would say to work on getting it running well, before hack it up even further and make it harder to ride.
Do update on your progress.
Did you say "turboing", or is that a fumble keystroke for "turning into".

Working on more pictures trading to sift thru the box of parts and see what all I need. So far I'm missing a carb. All intake boots as well.
Off topic I'm not sure if I'm just to new or what but why won't it let me see any sell thread's.
Set of 4 intake boots can be expensive, but often times well worth it even if still had them but were still and cracked and hard to work with. You will also them probably need O-Rings and the bolts.
Search for "Cycle O-Rings" for a kit of the orings and the bolts. You will be dealing with a fine GSR member.
I am refereing to the boots between the carbs and the head.
ANd then there are the boots between the carbs and air box ....
or maybe you dont want that, doesnt fit the image. Then you have a fun game of trying to rejet the carbs.
I think for access to the buy-sell section has some requirement about being registered for a certain period of time and/or so may post (trying to avoid spam). Not sure of the specifics, but something like that.
Hey, I see another new guy from Grand Rapids just introduced himself. Got a GS to hackup because it was cheap.
