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...
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.
Hey ,Skiddy.You didn't say you were doing a little Kat.Looking good old mate.Can't wait to see how it comes together.I haven't done much with my 650 E .Still deciding what to do with the 2 rooted engines I've got.I've got it all stripped ready for the blasters so I think I'll get the rolling frame done and go from there.What are your plans for the back end?? Sorry,but I'm watching how your's turns out before I leap in.Cheers,Simon.Hey mate it wasnt a straight bolt up but close!, same bearings.... but i had to cut the steering stem and lengthen it by 9mm to get it to fit through the frame so it could still be threaded on...
I put a 16mm rod up the middle also...
And drilled 2 5mm holes in the stem an inch up from where the cut was made, and 2 more 5mm holes an inch below and filled them with weld to link the centre rod up more... More solid than a solid thing.
heres a piccy of it in the bike... i will try take a pic for ya as it has to come out yet to paint them stem so it doesn't rust.
Enjoy...

Ya mean raise the rear height? i don't know i dont want to sling too much over the front... especially since the shaftys rear lifts when ya give it gas instead of sinking like a chain drive... could get a wee bit squirrely in the rear
Yeah i was thinking that, but the only stretched bikes here are on the drag strip, every road here is perfect twisties... and all the straights have coppers...
So it has to go round corners
