    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.

i would like to start a good discussion about what motorcycle had the best of this, or that. i am not wanted to start an arguement. i am trying to see if i could make a bike w/ the best of everything. also the downfalls of certain bikes. examples: gs1100 is a really good enginge, but suzuki is known for bad electronics. yamaha's are great bike but the YICS heads are very weird and odd head design. of course need examples of brakes tanks etc. anything and everything.
 
Are you actually considering to fabricate up this frankenbike? ,BK
 
I have come to realize, alot of the suzuki's such as the gs's have a great deal of interchangeable parts and are usually very easy to work on. When it comes to a honda or yamaha, they seem to be a bit trickier to work on, especially the yamaha's. They seem to make every model different and part specific. This only counts for stuff that I have worked on. Everyone else has their own opinion.

i was told alot of kawasaki stuff can be interchangeable w/ suzuki.
from what i do know, yamaha is in there own world.
 
Depends if you're talking modern or past.

No time goes into making a harley loud, its a straight pipe.

How about you approach this differently and tell us what you expect out of this bike yyou want to build, then we can give the best characteristics to achieve it. To go all out making this luxury, sport tuned hybrid bike will end up compromising much more than you hope to gain by doing this. I took this route building a quad for four stroke wars which is part yama, kawai suzi and honda.
