    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.

Hey I figured I would post some pics of my project up in case any of you care to look. It's not done by far and probably won't be for a while so dont expect weekly updates lol.

Before.jpg


First I removed pretty much everything on the subframe, the swingarm and forks...replaced the swingarm and forks with those of a '91 GSXR1100

Chopped off everything on the frame from the tank back...

Unfortunately, apart from this photoshopped pic that's all I have done to it so far. I plan to replace the clip-on handles with risers and renthal dirt bike style bars and I'm fabbing the seat and subframe myself...still lots to do but I'll get there.

I'm hoping that pic gives you guys a better idea of my plan...till the next bit of work...

K so I picked up a set of MCS 7/8" handle bars today...gonna start machining some risers for them, hopefully they will be done at some time tonight.

When I first looked at your new post, there was the famous "image deleted by photobucket" message, and looking, your post was made today. I dont know why photobucket is being used by people when there are much better alternatives out there.

Yeah sorry that was my fault actually...not photobucket lol...I moved the images into a different album after posting without realizing it would delete them off my post...but I rectified said situation...

Oh and I have no idea how she steers yet lol...I have a funny feeling it's only gonna want to go straight...
 
Looks promising. What do you have in mind for the subframe and rear end?

For the ass end...I just gonna relocate the shock mounts on the frame as I believe they need to be moved up a bit. I welded in a second cross member to the frame just above where the shock and engine mounts are for the lower brace of the sub frame...I'm just gonna go for a simple triangular shape to keep things simple and stay with the angles of the rest of the bike...not sure about the seat and lights as well as battery box yet though.
 
Well I got to work on my bar risers today...still not done but I figured I would post some pics of the progress anyways...still have to drill all the holes and cut the top a bit but other than that you get the idea...
