    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.

Hey guys I'm new to this site and wanted the say hey! I've been a Bike guy since I was little, Doing my own work is the only way to go! Just wanted to share a bit of my ongoing project I have now, it's a Gs1150 with a gsxr front end and gsxr rear swinger with a 5.5 wheel, Vance an Hines pipe powder coated black, 36mm rs flatslides, it's an ongoing project but I'm almost there here's some pics, I did a complete frame off restoration, had the frame powdered and i cleaned up the motor with new gaskets, new intake boots, I adjusted the valves, completely rebuilt the flatslides, dyna 2000 ignition and prob some stuff I'm missing

This thread is worthless without a YouTube video of that engine running :)



Welcome aboard, looks like you have been at this a while . You should put your location in your profiles so people have an idea from where you hail.
 
How many inches that swingarm extended?

I'd like to hear what it sounds like also.

You got one of them new-fangled tiny batteries, or it's just not installed when photo was snapped?

Welcome.....Whats the intended use for the bike? Drag race? Street? Both?
I see a bit of 85 es paint. Any plans for the body work yet?

Again, welcome and enjoy.

Add-looking closer at the pics it seems that the coil locations would prevent a stock gas tank install so im guessing a body kit?

Well I'm trying to post a vid on YouTube of it running but I seem to be messing something up but I'll keep trying, I'm using a 1st gen gsxr swinger stretched 8", I intend on it being my weekend cruiser and maybe see a couple weekends at the local 1/8mi if I ever muster up the courage.

yea your right it's blue and white I've got the stock tank also but it's rusty inside and that's my next battle, I wanna stick to the OEM blue and white bc I just love the look of these things

oh and the coils are just resting on the frame, I haven't had time to fab up some brackets/spacers

hopefully I'll get this vid posted so you can hear it, def loud but man it sounds mean
 
Welcome to the site. Looks to be a sweet project you have going on there. I love the 1150's. Please update your location so we know where you're from...
 
Ok I'll update my location, I tried putting my info in my signature but it's not showing up...

edit: there it is!!
 
Sounds very nice. Sounds...proper.
Nothing like the sound of a big in-line four through a four-into-one.
 
Central Illinois, eh? I am from Oak Forest. There are a handful of members here from the area as well...
 
Yea I'm in the champaign/Urbana area, I rarely see these ole' GS's anymore, maybe one day I'll make it up there and cruise lake shore drive...always wanted to do that
 
That looks and sounds brutal. I see you're veering away from the stock set up?
 
Update!!
had a good friend throw some fresh paint on my plastics and paint the wheels black, he did an excellent job! Hopefully here in a couple days I'll post pics of it actually on the ride! Enjoy!
