    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.

Hi folks. I?m back again after a summer and autumn of riding.AF54C5D5-0121-4B11-A00A-3EAC1691E102.jpg

?78 550 is my latest project. Any idea what I ask for in paint colour? It?s something between blue and green...

And this is the 1100GK without the fairing while I?m grafting in a steering damper and forkbrace

Not snowing - raining. GS1100G-S if you will. Think GPz1100 unitrak

And the other side. The bike has a moderate speed head-shake at about 25mph, especially when slowing down with the bars held lightly. Probably not helped by the heavy top box carried way out back. 150mm ohlins and fork brace grafted in as winter project development. Roll on spring for more rides...

Tarozzi fork brace re-engineered to fit. I don?t know what it was intended for but it fits nicely now

Improv side cut milling... sacrificial spacers also out of aluminium

Machined the bores round and of correct diameter diameter to match the funny sized fork legs
 
Your fairing work resembles my 1100G project from September 2016;

Yes it does. Mines an AirTech Ducati 900. It was a bit of a struggle to get it to fit with the clip ons I have used but that is the deal when building bikes... very pleased with the 1100. Lots of my kind of go!
 
Are there pics in this thread I can't see? (Yes, I have my settings correct).

There are, but uploaded to the forum itself. Small thumbnails you gotta click (they don't increase much in size though).
 
Ahh....they're showing now. I swear there was nothing there yesterday. Glitch in the matrix, I guess....
