    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.

I gotta ask, is the shaftie tube part of the bobber set-up?
Is it really strong enough to do that reliably and aren't they set-up to be able to move?
How did you make it solid?

I grew up around bikes of all styles, to each there own.
 
Haven't posted much lately.
This is my old GS1000ET, it has too many mods to list......
I couldn't afford to get it road legal but luckily it went to a good home.

That is one funky 1150. Not in my taste, but it definitely looks to be well thought out and executed. Reminds me of a V Max.
What are the triple clamps from?
Welcome to the GSR by the way....

I was staring at it not able to figure it out. An 1150 with a peanut tank :)

It looks real nice, KiwiGS.
 
can't get to hook up needs a softer tire and wider but I have no more room for wider I burn out to the 60ft letting go at 4-5000rpm any suggestions?????:confused:


soften the clutch

use a progressive nitrous controller -triggered by the clutch lever * 20% up to 100% in 4 or 5 seconds *

don't use nitrous in 1st gear

lower the tire pressure in the rear tire

lower your gear ratio

a stock pizza cutter will hook with the right combination.

Here's my'83 GS1100e resto-mod. I just got done shining her up with some Turtle Wax Ice and polished up the metal bits. If you look closely, on one of the arm rest ofthe chairs in the background is glass of post-cleaning-muscle-relieving tequila.:very_drunk:

My mods included; ’93 GSXR-1100 forks, brake calipers, and rims, 90ish Bandit 1200swing arm, ’90 GSXR-750 modified cowl, Wisco 1166 pistons, jetted carbs and KN Pods, MotoGP Werks header and mid-pipe, and a SuperTrapp slip-on exhaust can.

This is my weekend morning(s) therapy exercise bike. I find a 100-mile dosage works best for me.

I like your style. A+
 
008.jpgWhat an awesome ride, on the road for just over a month and the bike hasn't seen the road before this in almost 9 years after it was restored. A true barn treasure, this one is a keeper.
