    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 picked this GS up awhile ago for $600. It had a damaged exhaust, so I welded my own from plain steel. I made the fork gaiters from Rancho shock boots (cheap). They fit and work great. The front and rear signals are bullet style. I also flipped my headlight bracket upside down, lowering the headlight. The handle bars are from a local bike shop, i'm not sure of the brand/style, but they are standard straight bars. I put on some retro style grips, and flipped the bracket holding the gauges, so they are also lower to be closer to the lowered headlight. The mufflers are shorty style, with custom baffles I made. The bike sounds great and screams up to 8000 rpm. It has pods to match the homemade exhaust, and has been methodically fine tuned and re-jetted.

Looks good! I like the idea of flipping the bracket for the gauges, have you got anymore pictures of how they look?
