    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.

An update on my somewhat Cooley replica. 79 GS1000
I gathered up all the ZRX 1100 parts I needed, swing-arm wheels brakes shocks and front end.
Had the swing-arm machined to fit front... stems swapped in lower triple... had to have bushings made to fit the bushing inside the ZRX swing-arm. A bushing was made for one of the ZRX bearings, they do not make a bearing to fit the rex beraring and my stock arm mounting bolt.
Shocks are getting bushings in the top mount so I can use the stock mounting points. Was going to move the mounts but I'll leave them be for now.
Medea blasting and powder coating next and we'll see what we have from there.

I bought a Honda frame with the top shock mounts moved forward into basically the same position that you are considering.
What is the reasoning? Strictly ride height?
 
Am i mistaken but are the swingarm bearings normal bearngs and not needle roller ones? Thanks
