    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.

Should have the carbs back next week, went with a stage three jet kit (thanks Chef!!) and K&N pods. Picked up this Vance & Hines 4/1 exhaust a few months back on Ebay (new in its original box..Thanks Ed!!) Can't wait to hear it!!

Sprocket

Sprocket

Got the Vortex Sprocket today and polished up the hub, went with the stock 530 43 tooth stock set up.

What bike did you select to order that sprocket? I checked out their site, and obviously they list newer bikes.
 
Polished and re-painted the front wheel, cleaned up the rotors and painted with some high gloss engine enamel.

"It uses the same bolt pattern as the 98 Bandit" The 1200 or 600? Sorry to be a pain, I just love the sprocket. And since mine is in pieces (as you may recall as we talked over PM in late January), why not add a sprocket :)

You might want to see how well it fits to your tail-section, had them do mine back in the late eighties and it did not fit up well. I have a gap on mine that I've never been able to completely get rid of. At least it has been very durable.

yeah my stock seat had a pretty large gap to start with, I think the foam may have shrunk over the years, gonna try to adjust the rear piece to get it as tight as possible
 
K&N's

K&N's

Got the cabs re-jetted (stage 3, thanks chef!) and replaced the rat box with a set of K&N's

Body parts ready to be shipped off for decals and paint. Cant decide on the engine covers ..polish or powder coat? Gonna tackle the carbs next while everything is off. Tail piece needs to be taken apart.

NICE! I love to see the 700 and 750 E/ES bikes getting some love - it's mostly the 1100 and 1150's that get refreshed, with the 750's getting passed over since parts are so hard to come by.

Just wanted to spam up your thread a bit and let you know that I'm parting out two 750 ES's, and I've got a set of full aftermarket lowers for sale that would set your ES off nicely - along with a bunch of other goodies... ;)

Several exhaust systems, fork brace, clipons, 1150 rear wheel, luggage rack/sissy bar, crash bars, etc. :dancing:
