    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.

I got an '82 1100g that needed some electric work and is slowly becoming a complete resto project. Since I am more familiar with scooter performance mods than motorcycle mods I am creating a thread fir everyone to throw their two cents in on every performance mod you can think of. OK go!

Weren't they opposing factions to the Rockers in the UK, in the '60's;)

Seriously.........................you could fit a set of pods to it and spend the rest of your life trying to chase a flat spot in your engines response, before finally getting to do your planned body refurbishments.:p

:twistedevil:GS scooter mod. COOL!!!:cool:

Another option is take off the mufflers or run an open baffle exhaust to mod the bike into an A$S HOLE machine!
 
There are some "enhancements" that are not really considered "mods", like pods, pipe, handlebars, etc.

There are some mods that are considered to be "enhancements" by their owners, but are not seen that way by everybody, like bobbing, chopping, cafe-ing, etc.

Some of the other "mods" are really Band-Aids to try to fix a problem, like coil relay mod, horn relay mod, fuse box relay mod, stator wire re-routing mod, etc.

Did you notice that all of those are electrical and most of them involve installing relays? That is a not-so-subtle hint that you really need to ensure that your electrical connections are as good as they can possibly be. If you are too lazy to clean the connections, or a previous owner tried some 'creative' bodges, you may have to resort to installing a relay to bypass some poor wiring, but they are all workarounds.

Steve, I think I see your point, would it then make this an "illuminating enhancement?" :)
