    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.

I have the original 630 chain on my 1980 GS 1000E, would that be a DID chain?
 
Thanks guys, i ordered one from the local shop but not sure if it is going to work as it did not say if it was oring or non oring style.

Ill try! Gotta find a good spot i don't think my neighbors are very motorcycle friendly. Surely not 4-1 megaphone burnout friendly.

Picked up a master link and Checked up on my seat, should be done by end of the week. It is looking sweet.
 
Got my seat! Two day turn-around, for $225. I like it. Feels like your in the cockpit!!

Love it

Love it

Love that bike, Samsonite. I have a red '82 with a megaphone that some say needs repacking. I'm thinking about going in the opposite direction.

I had a '73 Z1 with a 4-into-1 pipe. Outside a bar where this girl hung out, I blew the baffle out onto the road (women!). I retrieved the baffle (two perforated plates connected by a pipe), but never re-installed it. I became one of those loud guys, though I was respectful of my immediate neighbors.

Bare with me: what is that tube coming out just below the front cams and going around back? Got to be some sort of oil line, right?

PLEASE preserve those side covers and the tank. They're worth so much.

What do you estimate your 1/4 mile, top speed, hp and torque numbers are?

Air-cooled superbikes of the '70's and early '80's ROCK!

Thanks Rob. Ill definitely be keeping the cosmetics in nice shape. That tube is an exhaust cam oiler. Before they came out with the intake/exhaust cam setup.

COuldn't give you absolutely accurate info but prev owner told me he was running 6.7's in the 1/8th @120, with a 285lb rider. HP has got to be somewhere between 140-170 depending on cams.
 
Well i didn't have anyone to get a burnout shot today but i did get a ride in!! I am very impressed with the power of this engine. I bet it runs right with my ZX9. I did have a problem with i believe 3rd gear popping out, not really under acceleration but more-so getting on and off the throttle.

Shouldn't the 1327 be a big block, or can a stock block be bored that big? I may be wrong, but that looks like a stock block to me.

Bike was a hoot the couple passes i made up the road. Deafening loud and pulling every gear very hard. Not much traction in first few clicks :D
