    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.

Dan, if you find the front wheel of a GR650X, it used a 19" alloy rim. The "upgraded" GR650 used the standard 19" mag wheel.

Cool bike! Need more / better pics.....

Resurrecting my old race bike

Resurrecting my old race bike

Had my first shake down ride on my resurrected race bike. I will post a full story in the rebuild section later. Needs some carb tuning. Considering all that has been changed, overall it turned out well. Maiden voyage was interesting and looking forward to more saddle time to get it sorted out.

Limeex, it cool to see that your project is coming together, as I recall your ocassinal mention of it. That 4 valver looks awfully cozy with the tank. Look like a fun ride with the engine swap, carbs and brake work. l look forward to reading its story.
 
So, I want to make my 78 1000 a Brat Style or maybe even a Street Tracker or Scrambler Style. One of the things I've noticed is that a lot of the custom bikes have matched sizes for wheels. My stock bike runs a 19" up front & a 17" out back. Are you Cafe guys changing wheel sizes as part of your customization? Cafe & Brat are pretty similar IMO.
 
That's a good looking bike. I think it's about perfect in that middle pic.
Good luck on your build!

Thank you sir. Making progress, slowly but surely. I should have all the parts I need to ride it again by Tuesday, hopefully the weather still holds

Is that front tire mounted backwards?

Typical shinko pattern, the the front and back tires look like they are rotating against each other. BUT, now you got me pretty paranoid, so when I get home from work I will check haha
 
Those tires are mounted correctly. My buddy has the same ones and I thought the same thing when I saw it.
