    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

heres a few before and after shots of my 83 restoration I been working on since last Dec. My exhaust pipes are still in wisconsin getting cermachromed yet and should have those back in a couple weeks and just a few minor things and she'll be ready to roll...This bike has 7000 original miles and was complete. Shes sat for quite awhile but I saw definate potential. So far I've cleaned the carbs, did the shim dance on the valve clearences, plugs, air filter, oil change. Had new tires put on, new throttle cable, mirrors, grips, flushed the brake system (pads were excellent). New petcock and all new hoses. And of course the most noticable is the paint scheme I picked out and lettering. Had the chrome fenders redone in black and the 2 tone is gloss black with emerald green mettalic with the gold lettering and pinstripes. the exhaust did have the usual rust but it is solid and I'm getting them ceramic coated. And I had the seat reupholstered.
