    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 everyone, I thought id share my Gs850 I recently purchased! Its an 81. somebody has already attempted to make some sort of cheapo bobber out of it. i plan on changing up the rear to a springer seat and most likley hard tail it or solo spring the rear. I have no idea how many miles are on this bike as i has a new digital cluster on it along with the hid headlight. But anyways here are some pics of it now before i start ripping into it. 20160511_063010.jpg

Welcome to the site
 
thank you! i cant wait to see it after i hard tail it and do a springer seat and clean the rest of it all up.
 
I guess today's crowd isn't that interested in having a hot chick on the back. :) Not a bad example of a bobber bike. Clean and has the front fender on it!

I was at an event in Austin (Aquafest) back in the early 80s. Lots of motorcycles would pour in. This guy came in on a big Yamaha 4 with one of the head pipes off. You'd hear him start that thing and ride around at all hours of the night. You'd hear "bwop, bwop, bwop" all night. I'm sure that thing isn't still on the road.
 
20160513_161248.jpg here is the exhaust. there is no muffler action whatsoever inside this thing lol
