How are those rear shocks working out? I picked up a cheap unused set off of Letgo a few months ago.

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.

Not butchered. Nicely done custom.

Is that a T500 tank badge?
Feel free to post pics of your other rides.

Well, it?s been a long time since I?ve put something up here. The bike that brought me to this site is still, technically, a GS, according to the frame number and title, and is still an ongoing project. Most of the pics linked in my original build posts are lost to time. If there is still interest in something barely still the essence of an ?82, I will post an update.
What I think would interest people here most is the bike I initially bought off Craigslist as possible donor to the first project. Turned into a project of its own as I started riding it as my daily and upgrading what was wrong with it. Here is how she sits today. I still refer to it as ?Parts Bike?

Thanks, Dorkburger, spreading the love. I tried, unsuccessfully, last summer to get an ES like yours. Damn flaky Craigslist seller. I would love to have an 1150, the peak of the air cooled!
Steve Murdoch, it’s a set of Gen2 Haybusa forks in TL1000s triples with B12 wheels. Kind of evolved.
I keep trying to put up a picture bigger than a postage stamp, but I am having no luck. I used to link to either my old site or photof*cket, before they took to ransom, no problem. Now, I have neither. I have tried Imgur, and it says “wrong file”, and pulling off my IPad, gets me the tiny pic. I think it is rude to hot link to another forum, so I don’t know what to do for GSR.

Okay, I think I got it!
The front calipers in this pic are held on with zip ties, I needed spacers and ended up swapping them out for R1 calipers a day later.

Charlie G, yes, I have my ‘82, which I have been poking at since ‘09. I actually jumped on the ‘83 off Craigslist with the intent to rob it of it’s engine and such. I realized as soon as I saw it, it was too nice to break. Hence, the “Parts Bike” moniker, as it’s ludicrous to think of it as one.
The ‘82 is a GS in spirt only, anymore, as I am swapping in a GSX1100F engine. All that remains is the tank, about half of the frame, the iconic train headlight, kickstand and little else.

It took me a bit to remember you and your project. Really admired your workmanship on that til section. You need to finish it some day! Glad you picked up the 1100 as it's a keeper. Cheers!
