    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.

We have a gs550 frame that i braced & strengthened a while ago for a project but the customer changed his mind, so in a bid to use up loads of spares we have kicking around we have started this project, comprising of gs550 frame, gsxr750 14k km engine,gsxr600 srad swinging arm, that we modified to take twin shocks, gsxr1100 slingshot usd forks & spoked wheels from my old gsx1100e.just chucked one of our seats & tank covers on its not a bad look
I think we will call this project frankenstein.
We have moved the bottom left & top left engine mounts to line up with the engine,just have the new mounting plates &
spacers to machine then the engine is in.
