    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.

Billy what year front end is that on your ES? I like that and might do that to my 700E. Did it help with the handling any? Braking? Or was it just for looks? I like it either way.
 
This sketch is where I've decided to head. This will be the first major reno in the 19 years I've had this 650.

It's a '95 GSXR750 fork in CBR954 triples. The reason for the Honda triple is because the top triple on the 954 is stepped down bout 3/4" so you gain a little ground clearance. I used to have an '88 GSXR front end on it which improved handling and stopping power tremendously. The new front end really didn't improve handling much but I picked up ground clearance. The rotors are PFM iron rotors.

Here's how it looked with the '88 front end.

Whats the front end on your bike. It almost looks like a wide glide.:confused:

lol
believe or not but the front fork is original suzuki gs 550 ;) but i put the new massive fork holder made from aluminium. they are wider than original so i also put distance between wheels.


p.s.: my english is not so good so i often dont know do you guys know wthat i meant?
 
sorry i dont know what you mean with "Harley triple tree"?
girl on the bike is my pregnant wife... :-k
What you call a fork holder in america is called a triple tree.Harley Davidson motorcycle company builds fork holders like what you have on your bike.I was wondering if you bought or made the fork holder?
P.S congrates on the new baby:clap:
