    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.

Hi Mr. feelergaugephil,

My, my. That's a mighty purdy bike right there. Wow. Excellent work. Thanks for the beautiful pictures.

Do you need mirrors?


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Beautiful bike, Phil.
Sorry if this has been explained elsewhere...what header and muffler are you using?
It looks great and seems to be very tight fitting.
 
Woah! that's a beauty! I really like the way you did the wheels. Great job well done.

It's not my bike, the owner saw my GS1000 which I restored and he asked me to restore his.
The exhaust is imported from UK, It's a Marving. and sounds awsome, I really wanted the Harris exhaust for it but they quit making those exhausts last year for this model, but still make them for other 70/80's bikes.
Total cost for restoration was $4K including parts/paint/powdercoating and labor.
The only issue is the K+L carb rebuild gaskets are leaking, so I'll take off the carbs off this weekend and sort that out, then he can come pick his bike up.
THX for the nice comments guys.

I just looked at this companies site. They have some NICE looking stuff, and still make them for just about all the big GS bikes from 750 up...

Next question..How do they SOUND??
 
When you first started this resto, and asked for exhaust suggestions, I recommended the Marving, but you said he didn't like the look, back then . I'm happy you got one....it looks great, and by all accounts, sounds really nice too!
Beautiful job all around!:clap:
Tony.
 
hey I remember this bike, you left the carbs sandblasted raw because the weather down there is perfect... nice to see the end result!
 
Beautiful job sir!

Love those pipes. They really look right for the bike.

Very inspirational for the rest of us Kat rebuilders. I just wish I could turn out something that pretty.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Spyug
 
Thanks guys, its all a matter of time and patience.............
 
Absolutely stunning Phil. Maybe we can get a vid of the bike running to hear that marving? Always heard great things about them and would love to hear it.

That sounds a great idea, I'll get the carbs done hopefully this week and get a vid of it and post it.
