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...
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 made a pretty nice solo seat in my last bike so i think i may try to make a nice cafe/brat seat as well. I try to do everything as low budget as possible....but i try not to make it look cheap, if that makes sense.You might get enough to afford a nice seat if you sell the bags and mounts. Or keep them for when you decide to take some nice long trips on it after you decide against going the rat bike route.
Granted, I did not have much money when I made this "bobber", & most is home made mods. Also, the bike runs like a top, so I didnt do any performance mods...just cosmetic. Relocated signals, home made hard tail strutts, home made solo springer seat, de-baffeled, stripped all the extra weight off. I never did get the rearsets, so it had a little bit of an awkward riding position with the clip-ons, but it is super fun to ride (shorter distances). There were a few other things I would have done as well, but i was ready to move on....not the most recent photo of the bike...just the most recent i could find. cleaned it up a little and changed a couple small things since that pic
I understand. Honestly, the 250 was so quiet and small I had issues of being notice while riding. Debaffeling that little guy did not make it loud by any means...ive heard many stock pipes much louder than my debaffeled 250. Lol. I'm also not here to get on any ones bad side, just looking for friendly advice from time to time.
