    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.

Well I am finally getting to go through my lil' zuke after 2 years and 3 years of not riding at all. I went to the DMV today and I am actually getting my title. I am going back to SUZUKI's and getting rid of the honda that almost killed me 3 years ago. Anyway...

The bike I call lil zuke is a 81' gs550L. It has a V & H 4-1 pipe on it and the work I am getting ready to do and I started it tonight is the harness and carbs and some cosmetic work. Some of the new parts are some new superbike bars and carbon fiber mirrors that I had in my garage for quite some time. I didnt want to work on the bike because I didnt know if I was gonna get a title. So now it is in the works...And I cant wait... I'll keep ya posted...
 
Well I did some detail work tonite. I scuffed up the frame some and gave the frame a coat of black paint. This should help keep the rust away for awhile. I have got pics of it but they are to large again so I will have to figure this out so you all can see it. I do know one thing the mag wheels are gonna get painted when I take the wheels off so I can mount my new tires when I get them ordered anyway. Dont really want to put the time in to polishing them just because I dont want to. So I am ytrying to decide what color. My girlfriend says black and I am thinking of a dark orange, just because my 82 katana is painted prowler orange the frame is anyway. That bike will be another post here soon. I do know that I want to put a different fender on the rear end, it has the chrome fender. I cant stand that look. Any suggestions?
 
well I got my haynes repair manual today in the mail from amazon. So as of tonite I got my wiring all figured out. So now I am wwaiting on my new fender assembly which includes my brake light and new turn signals.
Then after that I have to clean out the carbs and clean out the gas tank....sweet
