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.

    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.

I finally polished and painted the wheels on the 1100E.

The only thing left now is to have the front fender painted.
 
Very nice. :clap: :clap:


Ooohh, I just saw that third picture again and noticed the Voyager in there.
I had one of them for several years, as well as its predecessor, the KZ1300.

Clearcoat

Clearcoat

No, I didn't clearcoat. Just left them bare so that they are easier to re-buff later. The bike next to the Voyager uses a Voyager chassis. I stripped it and made it into a cruiser. My buddies just call it Frankenbike.
 
Very nice. I did the same on my Connie but didn't paint the wheels that nice.
Is that a Rocket III??
Kid at work has one but the thing looks so odd.:eek:
 
Rocket

Rocket

Yes, that's a Rocket III. The thing is a torque monster. With the pipes, filter, and current tune, it has 150HP and 170ft lbs of torque. Anything less than 60mph, just gear down, snap the throttle, and she stands right up.
 
easy and durable paint job

easy and durable paint job

Had a friend of mine paint (if you wanna call it that) his Rocket, he umm Line Xed it. I saw it and thought to myself that is gonna be one durable paint job. I mean, you just wash it off, no drying or waxing. No stone marks, chips etc. And only cost him $200!!!

The IS kid at work got his earlier this year.He pulled up next to me after work at a light.
I looked for the po po and revved Connie to around 4k.
He was revving like a fool,I saw the other side of the light turn yellow and blew him away on the green.
Granted he is only like 28 or so but it was a blast to beat him with my 10 yo,47k Kawasaki.
Granted, in the proper hands it would probably be different, but still fun.

Just not anything I could get to like. I've never been a fan of cruiser bikes and it just ain't it.
To each his own
 
Rocket

Rocket

For comfort and pulling a trailer, the Rocket is kinda hard to beat. For straight line acceleration, I'll stick to my old Suzuki.
