    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.

That fork brace is probably the coolest thing I've seen in a looonnngg time!
 
Very nice! I can not wait to see the thing complete! I have to get some of those Ohlins...
 
What are you doing for gauges and how are you running the spedo. I have the same bike I bought new in 1984 as a leftover. I just wrecked my 04 GSXR 1000 and plan to do a front end swap to the old bike. Can't wait to see your bike when it is done. Jp
 
Fantastic bike build.
Looking forward to seeing this completed.

Attension to detail is very good....

I have just purchased a 82 1100E (again)and are planning somthing simular. Always loved these bikes. Had one some years ago and sold it to build a Kat1135 which i still have but like you I have pictures of Isleman 1100E from Old Skool site... had had to get another...

Anyway wanted to drop in and say fantastic bike.. hope you don't mind me asking you some questions.

Not at all, just getting back at it
 

What year GSXR1100 forks are suitable? Im looking at some 1990 GSXR11 forks complete with front wheel, disc's and calipers etc. Any reason why you used Bandit wheels and not GSXR wheels?

Seems easy to get the whole front end and bolt it in..

thanks

I've done an upgrade with a GSXR 1100 K ( 1989) fork and it fits like a glove.
Two concerns however:
1) you need to build new lock stops on the lower T
2) you loose ground clearance.
Here's a picture:

91-95 1100 front ends work best, I bought the Bandit wheels with the rear end as a package.
