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.

Gorgeous. Agreed on the colors.

I'm an authorized dealer for both JayGUI Racing exhausts and OHLINS suspension. The front forks are OHLINS USD designed for a ZX14R. Custom billet triple clamps to bring it all together.
As for diverting the shipment ... my customer is in law enforcement so probably not something I'd ever consider lol.

Yeah, I figured they were megabuck aftermarket wheels. None of the Honda wheels with similar spoke arrangements look that nice.

Wow... that is a inspiring build/ride! An ES is next for me. I could see selling the Bassani for that pipe. Are you gonna tease us or give us some details? Motor, frame? Come on this is the first ES I've seen done resto mod that has the right parts to make for full time grin. We gotta talk

What swingarm was used? What about the rear sets?. I will be using a Bandit arm, twin shocks. Did you use 13" or 14" shocks? What rake and trail numbers did you end up with? I will be using a complete front end from a 97 Triumph Sprint. Fully adjustable,conventional and the fork length is longer, but I will need some tube for the clip-on style handlebars
That is stunning! Very purposeful looking. Has the" it can get it done" look to it.
So cool to make a dated bike look like that, fine attention to overall appearance and I'm sure performance.

Thanks for all the interest, here is a breakdown:
GS1100ES standard bore freshened with viton valve seals, slotted cam gears, high strength cam chain, aftermarket manual tensioner, and top end oiler. Carbs are 36mm RS Mikuni with Dyna 2000 ignition, 2.2 ohm coils, and JayGUI Racing exhaust.
The front forks are OHLINS designed for ZX14R. The rear are OHLINS designed for ZRX1200R and attached to the Bandit 1200 swinger via custom shocks mounts. Rear swinger set at 12 degrees unweighted (two wheels just touching the ground).
The wheels are OZ Racing Piega forged aluminum and are super light. Wheels are 5.5 x 17 and 3.5 x 17, with 180/55-17 rear tire (both tires are Michelin PP 2CT's).
Brakes all around are Brembo, including the levers and front Brembo RS master, with Spiegler lines.
KOSO gauge cluster, with LSL mirrors and clip ons.
The paint scheme was based off of the GSXR 1000 Phantom Edition, and added a bit of Wes Cooley with the Suzuki logo down the tank.
We ended up with 95mm of trail for those who are interested in the geometry. As for weight, not sure yet, haven't had it on a set of scales.

Oh yes, as far as the rear sets, they are Gilles Tooling designed for ZX12R and I made custom adapter plates to position them. The riding position rocks!
