    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

A skunk in the works

Took me a year to find a "decent" set of stock pipes. About 10-15 hours cleaning em up and they're still only decent.
They look good on the surface but when ya look really hard you can see the blems.
They work though.

Nice work Greg, you'll have her done before you know it!
Oddly I hope not,winter is a long ways away here.The lack of riding during our monsoon season(October till May)makes me buggy if I don't have something to keep me "motorcycling".Wanted to do this in the warm dry bit though.

Love the frame stand !
Me to!

Hey cool! Welcome Greg's little bro, I'd like to recommend a GS twin for your amusement... haha
 
Lilbro: surely your bother has enough bits-n-pieces laying around to build you one... right? ;)
 
I'm looking for a great deal on something appropriate & a GS twin would be. I am deep enough in debt that I'm not in the mood to spending a bunch of cashola.
