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.
Thanks for the update. Good luck with the move.

Somehow I still own this bike( the 1170)
Was very close to selling it last year but couldn't strike the right deal.
Glad I didn't. Since moving to MN a lot has happened, new house/shop, and we just had our first baby last month!
This bike feels like a big part of my past and I still have the urge to bring it back!
A friend of mine welded up the crankcases for me.
Still trying to get a frame for the right price.
I ended up with some gsxr suspension that I can use also. One of these days I'll start into it....
Looking back at at this thread I sure appreciate all the help from you all

Also when I had it running last in a 78 1000 frame, I finally fixed the idle issue that plagued it since I had it. Coil relay mod! Made all the difference.
Congrats on the baby. I understand about a bike being a big part of ones life. Mine has been with me from being single to, 18 years later, a husband and father of 2, well on my way to boring old guy-dom.....
Best wishes to the baby.

Have to thank Posplayr for hooking me up with a frame. His bike made the ultimate sacrifice!
Hopefully get the frame and wheels stripped and powder coated soon.

So here is what I'm thinking. Nothing special really just the parts I have been collecting.
1170 engine w/RS38 rack
83 frame
Raask rearsets that I couldn't use before since they are for an 83
Works rear shocks
91? GSXR 1100 Forks and wheels
Still have my custom cockpit seat from the original bike
Bodywork-yet to decide on color but frame and wheels will be black. Black engine & pipe.
Need to figure out what makes a these look 'right' with usd forks. I see way to many that just look goofy. Unbalanced.
I think Isleoman's bike looks great. Very well setup and that usd front seems to blend well.

A bit of exhaust work. If you look at the crash aftermath pics you can see the header pipes got mashed up against the frame and the can got flattened.
Trying to repair it since I have a bit more time than money.
Cut the other side of the dents, heated and knocked them out from the inside. The can I rounded out the end as much as I could then finished it off with a small hammer. Either goin to try hydroforming or plugging the ends and filling it with water, then throwing it in the freezer. Hopefully it will push the dents out.
