    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.

Anyone recognize this handy work? I bought a 1980 gs1100e in Northeast Philadelphia about 10 years ago. I'm just now noticing that someone with machining abilities made some pretty cool add-ons to the bike that I thought were from the factory. Fork brace over the fender, handlebar risers, foot peg mounts and rear brake pedal were all hand made. The bike also had a name engraved on the engine, I believe it reads "J Piontek". I'm assuming it had engine work done in some form. It was factory painted red but got painted black at some point in its life. I know it a long shot but I feel this bike has a cool history. Any ideas?

Maybe he thought it was a Pontiac and was dyslexic? Facebook has turned up names for me, for example I found the painter of my Norton gas and oil tanks which he signed on the back. That's an unusual name so maybe try James/John/Jasper etc.
 
Pretty sure the fork brace and bar risers are aftermarket items.
I've seen them before.
The brake pedal looks "made" though.
No idea on the name , Most tuners usually put their sig on the head as that's where most of the work goes when tuning.
