    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Sojourner, sounds like you have put some thought into it, I hope it works out for you as planned, I sure hope the mods will be in a project thread so we can follow along.
I never liked the Yammie's shaft jacking tendencies, it was cool in a quirky kind of way in the beginning, but the novelty wore off after the first 10 minutes, the shaft Kawas and my Honda CX500 did it as well, but to a lesser degree, Suzuki were the first to eliminate the tendency all together.
I am thinking along the same lines as you, lowering your seat, will compound the leg angle problem, unless you move your feet forward, but it sounds like you have thought it through properly. :-k
 
Thanks. I'll try and snap a few pics tomorrow and post them here.

P.S.- Always remember two things in life... 1) DON'T PANIC, and 2) always pack a towel.

"We apologize for the inconvenience." -God.
 
I have highway pegs.
I think they're ugly, but they are comfortable enough that I'll keep em on.
I also have a seat that is much lower than GS seats, but after the first few rides my knees stopped hurting.

So here they are- set to the perfect angle and tightened down. No weird wrist angles, no need to hunch over, almost perfect. Why almost? Because the damn brake line from the master cylinder to the split is too short. :mad:

I tell ya- if it ain't one thing with this bike, it's another. :o
