    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.

Old meets new. My '79 750 with a twist.

This is kind of what I picture my 79 750 looking like when I'm finished with it. I was bored today and started playing with photoshop. I was inspired by MV. Tell me what you think.

It's a 600rr tail section, KTM Duke swing arm and forks, clipons from a race bike, modded headlight, an 1100GK tank, and a 750 motor/frame.

I've actually already bought the rear end off a Honda Hurricane 600. I think I want gixxer forks too.
 
Hey fat_sac, That bike would be drop dead gorgeous. To quote the movie, if you build it, yahta,yahta,yahta. We'll enjoy watching the progress. Color choice tangerine orange metallic. Ray

Thanks man. I put my F4i in the paper yesterday to raise the capitol to start this project. I paid cash for that bike, so I'll have a nice load of cash to start with. I'll start posting pix in a couple of weeks hopefully.

I checked out that web site. Those reflective flames are nuts at night. Might look at putting some of those on my F4i.
 
Man that is a good looking bike! Prefer the black. Perhaps a charcoal would look good with that silver motor.
 
I think I prefer teh black too. Some of those elements from old and new came together nicely huh? I'm thinking maybe charcoal metallic. I'm wondering what it'd look like with a colored tail. Everything else black and silver.
 
silver motor and swingarm, black headers ~ alloy muffler, charcoal body work, frame bead blasted then clear coated over bare metal, silver 'SUZUKI' on the fuel tank. What do you think? :cool:
 
IMHO? This thing painted like that? Is gonna be a show stopper. One of a kind. I've had this in my head for almost two years now and have ot build it so I can move on. It's clogging my creative patterns, lol. I'm half tempted to leave the badging off totally though. On the other hand, no one is gonna know what it is anyway, so badging may not be a bad idea. Still undecided there. Maybe the chrome stickers of an SV?
 
I think just the chrome raised "S" from the Suzuki cars is the ticket.
 
No badging. If you need something put 'Indian' on it to confuse the hell out of people.
 
I think you need some kind of logo even if its just the letter 'S' after all its heart is pure Suzuki!

what would be really funny would be to put the badges of all the bikes used on one side of the tank and tell them to just take their pick of what they want to call it.
