    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.

Hi,

Looks good. Some diamond plate for the side covers would be cool.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
love it....how does the bike handle with the forks pushed up that far?...everyone has their own style, so take this as just opinion, but i like bigger cowlings on seats, I think it would look a nice with a flat seat....just my opinion :)
 
What's the tank graphic?

I enlarged it a bit but still couldn't make it out. Looks like a crown in the red/orange area and then some lettering in black....maybe suzuki..??
 
the bike handles awesome. the tank has a black strip on it. the badge is "suzuki" it cursive type font with a red suzuki emblem. i MIGHT change the tail next year. Well see.
 
Looks good!
I prefer a larger bum stop but still, looks like a fun bike to scoot around town on.

Yet more proof, ya can so Cafe an 850. Who cares if they're heavy? Extra weight makes for a much smoother ride.:)
 
Is that tube on the tank a visible fuel gauge of sorts?
Is that something that other bikes have used or of your own design?
 
An idea stolen from bikes of yesteryear... I like it. Don't think I could ride it for more than 10 mins but I like it... :)
 
I was in such a hurry to see the tank graphic, I missed your 'and fuel gauge' text.

I'm sure it won't be the last obtuse question or comment I make around here...;)

However let it be known that I DID see the similar color schemed cage in the background.
Mustang?
 
Nice job. Lots of little details you worked on. Like the polished valve cover with the black cylinders and no round end caps. Makes it look kind of like an old KZ engine.
 
Thank you....yeah...my bike almost matches my stang....lol. Its all powdercoated. Came out great. I love the fuel gauge....always the start of a conversation. The cam end covers are not on cuz I only have one. Looking for a set. Trying to decide what to do next. Maybe newer front fork set up....rear sets....exhaust?
