    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.

Backwards?? not sure what you mean? it is a stock 94 GSXR 1100 fender..
I think he means that it LOOKS backwards, not positing that it IS backwards.

I agree too. The balance of the wheel/fender looks a little awry, and the part covering the rearward portion of the wheel, to my eye, looks like it should point forward. I hadn't noticed that on the '94, but it looks a little off on your 82. Not that it looks bad, just different than the lines I'm used to seeing on the 80s era bikes.
 
My es has a few custom bits on it. It has been an evolution from the day I acquired it years ago. Wheels and swing arm from England. Brakes from The States and England again. I think the next big change will be some updated forks, maybe USD. We'll have to see!:D
 
Taking a break

Taking a break

Was a nice day Saturday, all yard work was done spent time with the kids playing street hockey... Decided to take a blast out on the bike, stopped for some ice cream and snapped a picture...

Hello! This is the GS450 I destroyed the winter of 2011/2012. My mate fooled me into getting a bike and sharing a small garage space with him and eight other morons. I'm satisfied with the result. Especially since fitting the bigger spoked front wheel and an SU carburetor from a mini

/Viggo, Ume? Sweden
 
Mate that's a good effort, I particularly like the pipes!!

Thank you
Not that it matters THAT much, but how stupid could I be to make the one pipe that has a longer way to travel in the front also have the longer way to travel at the back :oops:
 
Neat design, but where are the ice studs in the tires?

I love the vision you had to route the pipes under the frame like that.

Just had it out for a small spin that day to see if it took "thief air" (directly translated from swedish...) which it did so instead of buying new rubber intakes for 150 dollars I converted it to an SU

I got the intake off a friend who had made it for a Kawasaki 650, but the customer never picked it up. It was a bit too small hence the enourmous amount of ugly welds :lol:. Now there's no sign of thief air and runs smooth as hell.

The vision of the pipes I have to blame the bearded guy in the pic for. He forced me to do it, while I was too scared to destroy the original pipes since I didn't know anything about building motorbikes. I'm glad he did.
 
The bearded guy was right :)

Interestingly enough when I was getting my pipe made, the guy who made it for me says making slightly different length headers can be a good thing on twin cylinder bikes...
