    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Looks great. If it were mine I'd put some contrast on the wheels or paint them black & also paint the springs on those rear shockers black too :)

Must be good to get it back on the road. :)
 
Aye, mate. Been a long time coming.
Glad to have it (mostly) done. Thinking I'll do bodywork and seat this winter, then it'll really be done.

Thanks for the encouragement folks,

Getting cold around here so I haven't been riding too much lately. My cut off is about 40 deg F so when the mornings are mid 30's it may be time to put em away for the winter.

No updates on the 84 Pop up. I'm debating on whether to take it under the blade this year like I did the 82, but not sure yet. I won't be able to replace the wiring harness, and I still have bodywork on the 82 to do so I may not get to it for a while.....
He11, I may even sell it to raise funds for something a little more amenable to Mrs. Smokins' tush:-\\\
Thinking along the lines of an 83 1100E or newer - a GSX1100g or (Gasp!!) an ST1100....
Click to expand...

Yeah, I was with ya riiiiiiiiiiiight up until that 'ST1100' part...then I puked. :eek:
Just kiddin'...mostly. ;)
 
Great looking Kat! I'm in the middle of getting an 82 1100 Katana back on the road after 15 years sitting in a garage collecting dust. They are a labour of Love and hopefully one day the 1100 will be mine :)
