    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Suzie_Finishedjpg.jpgShe's now got 4 hours on the new engine.. been having such a good time I haven't even stopped to get screws for the emblems! The Conti TKC 80s I'm running are pretty solid on pavement and even better on the dirt roads. Overall, It's been one hell of a rebuild.. many hours and time invested.. and many thanks to everyone for all this wealth of knowledge. Could not have done it without you. it's now time to enjoy her.. Reach out if you live in NJ and want to ride

Lookin good!
 
You'll be wanting a front fender once you hit the dirt or ride in the rain. Nice looking project, have fun!
 
Thanks fellas!

I'll be putting the fender back on once I fab up some little stainless steel risers for it. The clearance right now is too tight with those knobbies
