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.

Why isn't this bike on the photo of the month? This is one of the most beutifull machines I have seen. Fantastic work.
Maybe it will be Sunday. 3/1/09. I agree...Beutifull !!!

Love the change. And I like what you did in the battery/electric area. Is that a stock 850 tank. Im going to move the filler to the center (on the right on my 750) and use a GSXR filler to replace it.

Very nice work - but - those bolts in the shaft will strip out when you hit the first big bump. You've got all that force (entire weight of rear of bike + your butt) on two small bolts screwed into aluminium.

How is the strut mounting any different from the shocks that were mounted there previously? Just wondering, I don't see the issue with the hardtail mounted the way it is.

While it won't be the entire weight of the bike, he does raise an interesting point. What's on the bracing look like on the other side?
And yes, it is very clean. First custom shaftie I've looked at for more than a glance.

The problem with hardtailing like that is those bolts take all the shcok and the weight. When use for shock mounts the shock absorbers take the beating. Hence the name shock absorber. I think i would be a little concerned. Just my not so humble opinion. here is a shaft bike a friend is building. he had the same concerns and decided on this instead

the pic i posted is couple of years old. The bike i posted is still being built. But i showed the shaft rigid being to my friend who is a good fabricator and welder. he said was you should go from the top of the driveshaft tube and the top of your swing arm with vertical supports to the tubes going to the wheel to relieve any shock off those bolts and possibly a major failure. Just a suggestion. He reminded me of one we saw at a show in K.C that was done with the vertical supports. Owner said he had put over 20,000 miles with no issues.
