    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.

gs1000g mild cafe build

Can't wait to see the finished bike. The "straight" and reused tail looks very cool.
 
Thanks roeme, the entire time it was pointed up i just couldn't put my finger on what was throwing the look off for me.. one day it clicked.
Got a little more progress made on it, mostly stripped for paint and welded tabs to the upper triple to mount the stock gs cluster, got a head light and brackets, bar end mirrors, a new gas cap, and the ebay rfy shocks in the same length as my factory shocks just need tires and to paint the bike up and it'll be ready to ride now
 
Looking good. I wasn't happy with the look of repurposing the tail section on my GS750 so I bought a racer type pan off eBay. You seem to be having more luck than me. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
 
Hey guys im having a bit of a problem, if i set the ignition pick up dead center where the marks are (and where it was when i took it off) the bike has to fight the ignition to start like it has way to much timing. Now i know the engine spins clockwise so why when i rotate the pick up counter clock wise why does it act like i took timing out??? It fires up immediately, Wouldn't rotating the pick up "ccw" advance timing? Im slightly confused.
 
Awesome thread! Who's Grom? Little bike FTW!

Like where it's going... If I were you I'd fold and just get a Dyna-S system... So easy and for 100 bucks it's easy to dial in the ignition timing.
 


So the bike runs and rides like a top, the rfy shocks are very good for the money, and ive dwindled my list down to only a few things now..
1 i need tires
2 i need a resivuar cap for the katana brake master
3 i need to make the stupid ass seat lol
4 wire up the cluster lights and gas gauge
5 and get a tag
i need paint the tank and tail, im tied between od green and matte silver
 
"Install a muffler" is missing from your list.

Yeah, i would say loud pipes save lives.. but thats bs. Even if it were true, i did it because i just want to be obnoxiously lol.. now im not knocking stock exhaust or anything because i liked mine
 
Part of what I was saying was joking around, but the part where I said that I did the pipes because I wanted to, I wanted a loud obnoxious bike. I feel like I'm entitled to it since every other vehicle I have is quiet as a mouse
 
Yeah, but by extension, should we say that the guy who decides to run over just one dog with his car because he's never done it before is innocent?

Cool.

So you're one of the guys who regularly run with extra-loud pipes (i.e. pipes sans mufflers) in front of my house? Preferably on friday night?

Cause hey, they keep quiet in their own neighborhood, so everything's fine, right?

And the vehicles they use on the other days are quiet as a mouse, so no real harm done, right?

And nobody has to get up on early saturday morning anyway, cause who works then, right?

Oh! And in any case, no malice intended, because it's for their enjoyment, so nobody gets to complain, right?

Sorry, you really struck me as a cool guy. Who would knew.
