    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.

Very nice Darren, love your work! The ES is definitely a good choice too, probably one of the best looking Suzuki's of that era behind the Katana.
 
do you know the weight of the wheels, perchance? for science reasons....

Thanks! FYI, I'm also building a carbon fiber bodied restomod Kat with a 1260cc engine for a customer in AZ. Just dyno'd the engine at 173hp 110 ft-lbs at the crank. Should be a nice weapon :)
 
Thanks! I have 3 sets of ZRX shocks. How did you get the upper mounts to fit? Did the ZX10 shift lever fit the shift shaft? I have 2 sets of ZRX pegs and could not get it to fit the shaft. I love ES's and probably my all time bike of any brand is a 83 GS750ES. I would love to drive her!

I had my OHLINS tech rep send me upper bushings that were the same as those for the GS, pressed out old and pressed in new.

I used the GS shifter arm / lever on the splined shaft and made my own link rod to the ZX12R rearsets ...... one end is reverse thread so had to buy a reverse thread tap.

Oh nice!!! What else is done engine wise to get it up there? I ride with fellas on 1260cc and 1360cc Kats but they don't have anywhere near that much HP ;) Definitely keen to see some pic's of the finished product!

Mine will just be a stock 1075cc but that'll be a nice upgrade from my 450 :D
