    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.

This is kind of slow going, but im too dumb, lazy, and broke to finish this bike in a good period of time

So i got in my new tank.

Even after most of you said the 550 tank wont fit a gs 850, you were wroing. I got a 78 GS 550 E tank that fits my frame just about perfect, i just need to make a bracket for it, and its good

also, i put a trailer fender on the rear, and that is the taillight from the origianl bike stripped down, and it will be paint

That is a single white seat off ebay, im going to have a metric malitia patch sewn in the middle of it

and i got my clubman handle bars in today, and threw them on

next week im pulling everything apart for paint, then im gonna re-assymble, and pinstripe her

so here are the new pics

See! You can't believe everything you hear!
Well done with your progress thus far, and good luck with the rest. :D
 
negative, you can run those bars either way, ive seen it both ways, but if i have the flipped the other way i dont like the way it looks, and i cant turn the entire way before the bars hit the tank
