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.

    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.

New pipe for my GS

Got this brand new stainless Supertrapp pipe on eBay for a good price. Problem was... it was for a 89 ZX750R. Some cutting, welding and pipe wrestling, I got it to fit, but it leaked like hell at the exhaust ports. I wound up using two sets of gaskets and some copper pipe found at the hardware store to adapt the smaller pipe to the larger ports. Now she's all sealed up and it was even warm enough today to go for a ride and listen to the sweet, sweet music. Man! this sure beats the old pipe with the hole in the #3 header! Not to mention the much needed ground and front wheel clearance.

I still love the look of those wheels... Any reason you haven't cut off the right side brake bracket? Would make it look cleaner?

Exhaust looks good too :)
 
Sweet pipe, haven't see a SuperTrapp in a long time. I had a 4-2 stainless SuperTrapp on my '85 FZ750 way back when and loved the sound and the way it was tuneable.

I haven't cut off the bracket (I think you mean the brake caliper bracket) because I was on the fence about running one disc or two. Still not sure.

Ahh I thought it was a supermoto wheel with no option to run a right side brake :)

What wheel is it?
 
So custom rim on front Sportster & matching custom rim on GS rear? I was thinking of doing something like that on my skunk...

:)
 
A friend had sold me the rear wheel with custom rim already on it. He had a front wheel but it was just a stock GS1000 wheel. I sold that, and was lucky enough to find a matching rim (rim only) on eBay, then laced it up with a hub I had layin around. I love the way these turned out, wire wheels are the way to go.
 
I'd love a set like that... Priced it up at Buchanans a while back (I think that's the place) but it's kind of a lot of $$

what are you using for rear shocks? length? Im using exact same suspension parts but havent figured out rear shocks yet.
 
They came off an Iron Horse chopper, but made by Progressive. 418 series 12" shocks. Available from 11.5" to 13.5". They work but don't have the proper clevis on the botton like the stockers did.
