    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.

My name is Tim and I picked this little porker last December. It ran when I got it but it needs a little love. Carbs need gone through and it's got some wiring and (spoiler alert) charging issues. It also doesn't roll as easily as I think it should but I'll get thos things worked out. This is my first motorsickle. I did ride it as soon as I got it to idle consistently and man, what a feeling. I've come to the conclusion that 2 wheels are way more fun than four. My step dad got me into the older UJM style of bike. He's got a GS750 and has had KZs and CBs so when I went looking for a bike, I had my eye on something like this. I've currently got the side panels, tank and carbs off of it and I'm getting a parts list together so I can start getting her back to 100%.

 
Where at in Okieland? I am in Norman. If close enough your always welcome to bring it over and we can get at it.
 
From a Dork to an Idiot I say.......welcome. :cool: looks like a clean ride you've got there. Good luck with it and enjoy.

Thanks. The pic came from the guy I bought the bike from. It's not quite that clean any more but It's still pretty good.

Welcome!!!
Yes 2 wheels are much better then cage's! I'm worth twice as much in motorcycles then my car... There's a reason for that! Anyway good luck with sorting out your electrical issues, great resources here! Also an awesome support system. We tend to stick together even off the forum.
Good luck bud and enjoy the bike!!!
