    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.

that is a sweet bike ya got there, you should contact a good pinstriper/sign painter to have them set ya right. Judgeing from the rods i see in the background im sure you prob already know one. If you dont and you want to find one in your area let me know and ill see if i can find one for ya, or you could venture here to NC and ill pinstripe it for ya for a 6 pack of beers

also did you canhge the springs/shocks in the back. If you did let me know what ya did, i want to lower my bike a little and cant seem to find some good springs for it.

thanks

paint and shocks

paint and shocks

I'm actually planning to go dark flat green with a flying tiger style paintjob. I haven't decided if I'm going to stripe it or not... but thanks for the offer.

The rear shocks are meant for a honda CB, hondas use like a 11" shock and suzukis use a 13". I plan on cutting the rear end off and moving the top shock mount forward and down a small bit. I may be getting a set of works shocks from a buddy meant for a CBX. I need a little more lift in the back for ground clearance so I can lean over farther. I'll also get the benifit of quicker steering and better angle in the swingarm.
 
Hey everybody, I got some new rash on Tuesday. For some reason the front wheel locked up at about 45mph. Got off lucky, just one broken bone.

What would cause the brakes to get way hot and lock up then lossen after cooling? MC?
 
there probably isnt enough space between the disc and the pad, or if the brake unit isnt centerd right over the disc it could cause fristion, or the disc might be warped

That sucks! Heal fast.

I'm no expert, but I remember reading something about a blocked bleed hole in the master cylinder allowing fluid out, but not back in, causing the brakes to lock up after a few applications, but then they free up after the fluid cools.
 
I just want to make sure that I read all of this right, but with a stock gs1100 swingarm you can fit a 5.5 wheel and a 180 tire?

Thanks, I want a big rear tire, but not a bunch of fabrication.

BTW, In our automotive shop, we have had a lot of problems with people putting other hydraulic fluids in(power steering fluid) This causes the rubber to swell with heat, and causes the brakes to lock up. Hopefully you haven't done this.
 
It was new brake fluid. System was dry before. I am going to buy a complete Hayabusa 6 pot system off ebay for the bike.
 
Sorry for the post revival, but the links are dead and this sounds like a killer bike - Philo are you still around to point us to a new location for the pics?
 
yea, I missed the first run, unkl al let you post off his site??

hope yer all healed up by now...?
 
Just got back on the site... started a new thread for the bike and I'll fix the image links on this one.
