    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.

Whats with the 'crzsy straw' shift linkage? Never seen one quite like it before.

PS Upgrade those shocks and brakes next ;)

It will definitely flex if hard up or downshifts are employed.:D

It looks real sweet. And yes the shaft approach is to be commended! Won't see yourself on every other street corner.

forgot to get a propper shift rod...so bent the already bent gixxer one lol...how would i go about finding a correct length one

do gixxer rotors or something fit?
 
cut the tail off last night..moved it back about 1 inch or 2 and raised it up instead of being flush...looks more of a sport now..also going to redo the seat, and put orginial side covers on

Getting there. The seat / tail is still a bit off to my eye, should be a bit taller, but that's just me. Did you also remove the blinkers? They looked goofy hanging out back there, but I like them for functional / safety reasons....

Do you find the rearsets cramp your legs with the low seat?

You might find that the original covers won't fit too well with your non-stock airbox. :-k

That airbox is from an '82 or '83 bike, and the shape of the trim pieces does not match with the '81 side covers.

Ignore the mis-matched colors here, but this is how it will look:

I thought you were thinking about de-cafe the bike.. would that be Decaffeinated?:rolleyes:
 
Not too bad looking! I like the orange w/ white color scheme. What I find truly amazing is you shot the first set of pics where Lil' Wayne's Baby Momma once was!
