    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Not a GS, but probably the most dramatic before and after project I've ever done for myself anyway..;) A 1972 Honda XL250.

Stunning!
I bet it's an absolute blast to ride.
 
I must say, man you guys give me something to aspire to!

I just hope that my project 1100EZ comes out as nice as the masterpieces you guys have created.
 
Nvr2old, that 250 is a mean lookin little bike. Love it!

Thanks you guys. This bike really is fun to ride..light, torquey, handles great, loud'r than sh:-#t. A friend of mine gave it to me a few years ago because he just didn't ride it anymore. It had sat outside, unused, for 5 years and even with the old crappy gas in it, it still started after 5 kicks..:D It's got a 305cc big bore kit and a mild cam. I also swapped a mid 70's CB500 front end on to get the disk brake. The tail is a modified Airtech piece originaly made for a Matchless with a Hayabusa tail light added, clubmans, hand made pipe, CR250 rear shocks, smoothed/molded frame and swing arm then painted. Even though it took several hundred hrs. over the course of 2 yrs. to finish, I've only got about $1,500 into it.
