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.

    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.

Kind of burned out on the main project and needed a few weekends working on something else so I raided parts mountain and pulled some parts I'd been slowly accumulating for this bike ..... just intended to start this in march.

the plan is - period muscle bike so no 17" wheels, no 90's brakes, no modern forks etc

started here

Fitted reconditioned 82 1100E forks
82 1100E wheels
modified and painted 1100E fender
tarozzi fork brace
tarozzi rearsets
euro handlebars
verysys master cylinder

That's it for this weekend - braided hoses, 1100E swingarm and 900F rear shocks next weekend
 
Your going the right direction, wish my GS1000 project was that clean to start with.

Thanks - appreciate the input

watching the budget a little hence the shinko tires .
The YSS CB900F shocks have slightly pushed me past $1000 but I've got some orders for various elements of spares mountain which will allow one or two final goodies:
seat and if things work off I'll put some cartridge emulators in.
 
That's a fine looking ride. Having a cream puff as a starting point is something I've yet to have the pleasure of. Nice and tasteful work so far.
 
I will not do any modifications other than bolt on/in - so no cutting or painting and I'm keeping all the stock parts well preserved ( and I mean ALL the stock parts)- took about a year for the "I'm not touching it as its too stock" feeling to wear off

I'm incapable of keeping a bike stock ...... Already Have stuff lined up for the 1200 Bandit in a project box (race tech fork parts, GSXR1000K8 rear shock, braided hoses, gsxr1100K cams etc) and its already had the "dale walker treatment" so snagged 15-20HP there
 
If you are putting on a GS1100E swingarm.......Double check swingarm clearance with your rear footpeg/exhaust framework.
You may need to spread them apart just a bit, to get enough clearance for any sideload on arm.
