    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

yeah i see what you mean, but you dont have to go rigid, shorter shocks would still look look, even without a stretch!
 
yes that is the neglected red beauty it takes pics very well but man the previous owner had it since 95 and did absolutely no mainance on it at all the clutch was clankin when i rode it home and since that picture was takin the bike was knocked over by the previous owner before i bought it and it was also left outside which led to dull faded paint and a ton of scratches on the tank from the tree it was parked under oh and the wheel bearings were shot and two of the exhaust studs were broke off in the head so yea it had its neglect problems that couldve been avoided by taking care of it but it still ran so i bought it im a fabricator and mechanic by trade before i got hurt a year ago so its all easy fixes for me to tell ya the truth i know these things are rare bikes but i would love to see some chopped or bobbed im a huge fan of the 70s style chopper and bobber but all anyone wants to do is cb750s

You would never know that it was that "neglected" just by looking at the pic. I mean, it looks really nice in that pic, but then again I'm a sucker for 82-83 1100E's! :lol:
