    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 bike you showed on Craigs List is an 1100 that someone just put that tail & seat on. Only that LTD 750 had the dry clutch with that tail. Ray.

OK yea it is an 1100 with a Slingshot motor swapped into it. What about the fairing ; it has a Yoshi symbol embossed right below tje clip ons.

The bike was pretty clean for an 86 (cleaner than mine) but it certainly was not $4500 clean ; I think the guy woul be lucky to get $3000 as he really knows nothing about the bike and it has been significantly modifed. Teh monoshock has bee nrewelded to adapt a later model shock and it has a Fox shock on it, USD forks with 5.5" wheel 180ZR55 rear tire. A buch of junk parts from the conversion but he had collected a few pretty nice body parts I might get from him. He wanted to convert the tail back to stock????? I guess he forgot he would have to repaint the bike with the body parts he had.

With a nice paint job, alot of buffing and polishing and a few odds and ends (tires, rear shock) mine will be close to if not nicer (fresh paint and tires is allways really nice) as his and I wont be anywhere near $4500.
