    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

So I just rescued a GS1100X from impending doom. Was headed to the scrap yard and for $25 it went onto my truck instead. Unsure as yet how wise that was, the old girls in rough shape. I'll post pics once I get them out of my phone.

Here's the skinny:
BAD - No carbs, engine is stuck, no side covers, no seat, I think the wrong tank, controls are AFU
GOOD - rolls easily, shifts through a couple gears, clutch functions, I've got a new project!

This isn't my first rodeo, I've had a few vintage Japanese bikes over the years. My last Suzuki was a GS550L, loved it!

Once I've got some progress to report, I'll start a project thread. Seems to be a wealth of info here, hopefully I can add a little to it.
 
Welcome! Sounds like a good deal, especially if it has a title. But will be spending some money on parts, but at that price you're already ahead. Post in the wanted parts section on here and check ebay. terrylee
 
Well the price was right! You'll never loose money on it even if you break it for parts! But don't do that, restore it :-)
 
She'll keep you busy for a while, but it'll be worth it...:dancing:
Lookin forward to the pics..
