    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.

Thanks for the nice words guys!:)

I finally got a new clutch and brake lever in black to replace the shiny ones when we were down in Cape Town a month ago. No-one noticed that!;)

Yeah, we did notice that, just like we noticed how the big bust blonde with the low cleavage had nice eyes.....:eek:
 
WOW!!! Really ... need I say more?


I'll try ... Andre, that is a spectacular job! Craig is going to be blown away, especially considering the extreme reverse engineering that went into the project! Kudos on your terrific work, Pal! I have no doubt the brackets will exceed the originals (whatever they once looked like, hehe!). Well done!!!

Regards,
 
Steve,
Thanks for the compliments, I started looking at the brackets today, but then someone dropped in for some help on his GSX1100 unfortunately.

I have a plan in my head at the moment for the brackets, but I still need to stare at it a bit.:-s
Glad you like it!
 
Yay! My bracket is are nearly done. Just two struts to add and then have it powdercoated. Here is the last test fit:

That is just the finishing touch to an old style "roll your own" tourer.The kind you did before the factories made them.
 
Nicely done Andre! Definitely look like you just rolled it out of the shop after getting them fitted...
 
Thanks Pete!
I need to get those final struts finished and then do a good road test. The rear crash bars are also going back on and some LED's in the topbox connected to the brake light.
I was so pleased with myself I surprised my wife by oiling our garden furniture! ;)

Hahaha good stuff! Bet your wife was happy with that ;)

Sounds like it's going to end up a real head turner (mind you it is already) and a real nice tourer...
 
Oh no! I have not done any security yet. You know, chains, alarms, immobilizer, brake locks, GPS tracker etc...!

..flame throwers, mini-guns, RPGs :)
...you both forgot "Star Trek" style force field! :D;)

Looking very good, Andre! I like the fact that you set them slightly lower than I think they might be stock ... keeps the center of gravity lower!

Now you just need to fab up some protective bars (like the 1100GK's have) to protect the bags if the bike ever leans over too far. wouldn't want to scuff up that beautiful paint!

Thanks Steve. The brackets have been completed, powder coated in satin black and the luggage is back on again!
I took her for a ride today, but forgot to take a some pictures. I also need to put a some protection under the box over the exhaust. It does not get overly hot but did show on my hand when feeling there.
