    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.

Clouds GS Restoration Log

Cloud,

What is with the 82 directionals on an 83, preference?

I look forward to seeing more pictures of your obsession.
 
Very sharp looking T indeed! :clap: What do you mean by you folded? Sold it?
 
I took it to my friends cycle shop because I have dragged my feet so long on this project. He owes me a few favors so I am finally cashing in.
 
Yes it's being worked on again... But I'm having drivability issues. It runs great... Up to 6,000 rpm and then it's like the revs and power just stop. Sighs.
 
Ok guys after a very long hiatus and restoration that started in 2008... The bike is running well. With the jet kits installed the bike runs like a scalded cat. Today I'm bolting on some more NOS parts. Details to follow.
 
I put 60 miles on the bike today. It runs good. I am just getting reacquainted with it. So after the shake down there is still more to do...

Side stand safety switch so that damned light will turn off on dash
Install NOS Tachometer
Install NOS Gauge Bucket Chrome
Install Right rear footpeg (which I seem to have misplaced)
Install Horn (also misplaced...)
Replace rear shocks
Replace Headlight bulb (annoyingly the low beam has burned out)
And change a bunch of fasteners with brand new ones that I squandered hundreds of dollars over the years...

Front valve stem is leaking... Sighs. Also time to do all the fluids and fix the annoying side stand safety switch light (the red light is on constantly). Last two things will be the K&N filter, new spark plugs and a horn.
 
It's time for your bike to meet my 1000. I'll bring it down next month.
Glad to see it on the road at last
 
I'm still going back on forth on selling it. If it doesn't sell I'm not going to be heart broken. The thing is I've hardly ridden it since finishing it. Oh and the tire valve stem? That became an 8 hour ordeal to have the dealer replace.image.jpg
