    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.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. Cancer is a b!tch. My oldest boy just fought (and beat thankfully) AML leukemia. Stay strong buddy.
 
Sorry to hear of your troubles. Lost my father to cancer years ago, and a riding buddy last year. Be well.
 
Yes, please keep posting.
And have you thought of a ball bearing turbo? Pricey, but worth it on a GS. And tell them you have low pressure so you do not have the restrictor.

Good luck with the sale; I'm sure everything is top notch and better than as described.
 
Check the clearance link in my signature for lots of stuff. Clearing everything out as I refocus on other things.
 
It's a sad day, I sold my katana today. The turbo version will not materialize.

I am hoping I have another build in me but for not for the foreseeable future. She has gone to a good home on Vancouver Island and now has a Busa big brother.

If anyone knows of someone looking for a stainless steel turbo EFI system for a GS send them my way. I don't have a bike for it anymore.

Cheers.

Sad day indeed Rob! All the best with whatever's going on and I hope you can get back to what you enjoy sooner than you think.
 
Hi guys,

it has now been three years I have been dealing with my health issue. The very good news is that symptoms have not progressed significantly as doctors suspected there may of been a very grim outcome. The bad news is I cannot ride, build, or even work to make a living. I desperately miss riding and building my kats as riding up the coast highway was a great stress relief and joy. I always came home in a much better mood then when I left. Letting go of my Orange '83 was not an easy decision, but my daughter has four more years of university that needs paying for. I built that bike for me, for ever but I know it is in good hands.

I am still hoping that whatever is going on in my brain will leave as quickly as it arrived, or will become more manageable and I will be able to get back to work and play.

I don't have much left I can sell, but I do still have the NEW Turbo and EFI set up I was planning on installing on the orange kat, and also a 1327cc 1983 motor, and a billet clutch basket I need to sell. I would like to get 3,700.00 usd for it all and I would include two sets of; bandit 1200 reducer bushings, shock mounts, a 5/8" offset and bandit offset front 17t sprockets and a Yosh sprocket cover.

I want to thank you all for the emails and support during this difficult time in my life.

Katman!
 
Glad to hear you are still fighting, Rob.

We still occasionally get to see your orange beauty as Dave usually posts a pic or two when he takes it out for a romp.

And you'll see more of it as I actually plan on insuring it for the full season this year. :encouragement:

Canada is a big place. Where we live there is only a week of snow a year, maybe.

OH!!! I guess I need to change my Avatar... cry...
 
Hey All,

Wishing all a Happy and Safe New Year and season.

My Simply Digital EFI / Hilborn Throttle bodies and new Turbo with all the new assorted accessories are still for sale ($2,500.00 US) along with an '83 1327cc Wiseco big block engine. I am finding the Photography hobby more expensive then my bike hobby.
