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.

    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.

Picked her up last Friday in Greenville, SC. Started stripping her down over the weekend to figure out which direction to take her. Just a little teaser for now:

Jeez, I hope you "un-hardtail"it. It does have potential but you don't want to be injuring yourself. It kind of has a "brat style" look to it I think. I'm tired of all the cafes popping up but there is something about the brat thing that I like.

I'll be watching this with interest my friend.

cheers,

Nice lookin' bike. I like how you lowered it. I did something like that with my gs750, but i used short (11in) rear shocks. I eventually went cafe with it, but I had to cut out the bump seat to get the rear tire enough clearance. I think a lowered bike looks cool, but a hard tail is rough. I hardtail a bobber I have, and it is fun to ride, but sometimes painful and can get pretty sketchy when hitting a big bump at high speeds. I almost went over the bars once because of an unexpected bump at about 60 mph.

The base bike looks exactly like mine - is yours an '82? Mine is becoming a bit bratstyle. I love that look! There are some great lines on these bikes which really lend themselves to getting rid of the big ugly square stock tail. The tank has a very cool shape to it. So far it actually looks really good - keen to see what you do with it.
 
I like it.
After lowering the forks, you'll feel some sketchy cornering though. :D

Good luck! I look forward to more pics.
 
Beautiful craftsmanship! Great bike.
Unfortunately that oversized tank looks hideously huge on that cool little bike.
Want to sell it?
 
The tank is my favorite.. :) I got the same one.

Best look IMO... low, stretched, but not too wide. Perfection.
 
want to sell the airbox? I can use one if it is complete with the rubber snorkel. Also, I might be able to use a good gauge pod if you are not using yours. Come to think of it, I'm looking for a front fender as well, if yours isn't beat up.

Here we are parting it out and he hasn't even given up on it yet.
Vultures.
 
Bike is a 82 GS1100IGKZ. Jet kit, gaskets, clip-ons, tires, cables, headlight, and shocks have all ordered.

I agree, however, what other tanks fit an 82 GS1100GKZ? I'm looking for something a little smaller but not a peanut. Stock looking-esque

I do have the air box, gauges, and fender. All in good condition and not using. PM me.
 
I would like to hear from you regarding shipment of the stock seat, airbox, gauges, and front fender. Its been a bit since payment.

UPDATE, 3-27:

Thanks for the shipping information

Rear seat is being redpainted; All white with a Double black pinstripe number plate outline. Right now the seat and tank just dont work together.
 
Cool bike. I think the tail would look better if it wasn't drooping down. Keep the bottom level to the bottom of the tank and it would look great.

And maybe some padding. Your an animal.
 
I love the drooping down look.
Covers the tire in a more tucked look.

It's perfect. Love it.
