    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.

I almost did paint the swinger the same colour as the frame, but its instead the same colour as the motor case. It WILL have side covers for now, untill i can move the battery and stuff under the tail, but that will be a next winter project i think.
 
looking tough, mean and lean, keep the pics comin, love the inspiration
 
TKC - man it looks great - hows it running now? Black and gold has always been one of my favorite combos.
 
That looks awesome. Are you going to put a cafe racing windscreen one that?
and what kind of tank is that?
 
Thats a stock 77-79 750 tank that i hand beat. Ive done a couple of em actually. Thanks for the compliments. :-D
 
Looks good mate!
Makes me realise how little work i've done on mine:cry:
Once the battery is moved and that area under the seat is all clear it will look the sh!t.
Good job. Thanks for making me feel like I am neglecting my bike*
Cheers
 
what type of blinkers do ou have on that I'm looking to replace mine with something and those look pretty good, how bright are they?
 
They are actually some lil stubby ones i picked up off a fleabay store. Cant remember which one, but do a search, you'll get like 98459084508 returns..lol
 
Looks great. Is there any padding on the seat? Clubmans are SO cool!

Mwahahahahah!

No padding yet. I have bought the materials i need to make a pad and cover. Just have been working on getting it running right. Still have pleanty to do body work wise.
 
Looks like it's going to be a lot of fun to ride. Whose fork brace is that, if you don't me asking?....Angus.
 
Josh, that bike looks sweet! Arethe bulbs in those lites small 3 watt halogen? I got some on ebay that are chrome, but look to be the same design and size. Replacing the bulbs may be a headache for some, but when you need more, step up to 5 watts and we go'em all day at Mercedes land.
 
Did you get your chain length / sprocket sizes figured out ?

I think it wants to be ridden ..
 
Yup have the sprockets at the house, have a 130 link chain, so i will get it figured out this week while im missing BC :( and on vacation\\:D/
 
Reckon you will have the Cafe ready to swing by MILFORD on Sunday ?

Its POSSIBLE, depends on how quickly i can get the carbs tuned out. I wouldnt bank on it, but the 1100 SHOULD be done by then. If not im gonna throw an f-ing fit.
