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.

    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.

It seems that original S models have the headlight a little further back from the fairing opening, too. I know mine did. I made a couple of small extension brackets out of 3/4"x1/8" aluminum strap, drilled holes in both ends mounted in the factory holes, it pushed the headlight forward to fit the fairing flush. Looks like you have plenty of room to maybe do the same. Painted black, you hardly even see them. Nice bike. Looking forward to the finished pics.

I think ill do the same, I have another ST as a parts bike and a SN in worse condition than this one was and all the headlight brackets are the same. Neither are full bikes.
It looks to far back to leave it.

Truely FANTASTIC!!!!! :clap:

How do you find the time to even enjoy looking at 6 of them???

I'm looking for the litre+ bike (yes a GS) and would love to find an S BUT, I'd be nearly as happy to add a perfect L to the collection... now to find either in a low mileage platform that needs loads of TLC and I'm set. :p

Both seem to be quite elusive around here. Those that I have found are either basket cases or are way out of reach for another piece of garrage art. :o

Job well done, Sir.
 
After 3 years its finally together. I put some fuel in and fired it up first go.
One of the floats were sticking so I'm going to fix that next week.
The GS and GSX are entered in a show today and typical its raining, hasn't rained in bloody months :(

Now to get that Katana GSX1100 started ;)
 
Your bike looks great!
Can you explain a bit more about getting the pipes made. They look stock from these pics.
 
It looks stunning, what did you finally decide with the headlight? + 1 on the pipes, they look like stock.
 
Great looking bike. I like the look with the stock pipes.

That is quite a collection you have there!
 
WOW.
umm.
WOW.
Never really thought about those bikes before.... but now I need one !
Nice job !
Can someone lead me to info on how to make a 33 yr old motor shine like that ?

Theres a web site Zpower who sell these, I think they are in Sydney Aust.
Ive lost all the info on who did mine but i think they buy them through the same manufacturer.

Heaps of time polishing, the photo in the bike show i rode it there and home, It ****ed down raining so my wife and i had to polish it up all over again when we got there.
Once you get it polished up its not to bad as long as you keep on top of it.

Beautiful bike. Not many people would attempt a restoration to that level with what you started with. Hats off to you. :D
