    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.

Heres an easy way to fix that. I would wait until I find the seat I want to use and measure to fit it.

That's what I had in mind but I didn't know the loops were being sold on ebay, beats tracking down a bender!!, thanks oldman!

Got a powdercoat estimate as well, $300 for frame, wheels, swingarm, lower fork tubes, some engine parts etc etc blah blah... I've moved away from the dirty rat bike ideas, I'll save that for another time. I want this one light fast and sexy. Satin black with some copper.. Also gonna be making my own seat

Hi all, been a bit busy I got the bike back together and running again, i found several issues before it's back on the road
So I will be looking for some parts as well as getting rid of some factory parts.

First I will need to find a stator and stator cover, front master cylinder and all New Brake lines, air filter or pods, still haven't decided yet, my factory box needs love, rubber has hardened, foam has deteriorated etc.. Also need a rear disc or resurface mine, there's so much to list I know that I'm forgetting alot!!

Will know My budget in the coming weeks but I think I'll have around $1000, obviously need stuff to make it go again before I tear her back down and treat her with love.. Not hacking the crap outta it by the way, basically wanna ride it snot outta it before dumping gobs into useless ****..

Again, I definitely would like to hear others input and how realistic is this anyways?






 
Budget? BUDGET? What is this thing you call a budget? Is that some sort of nieve, artificial, pie-in-the-sky estimate of how much it will take to get your GS back to a reliable condition and on the road?

BWAHAHAHA! I like you - you're funny. :glee:
