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.

Great work! I rode many miles behind one of those (on a GS550), and I think you will find it very comfortable and convenient. The storage space is great for rain gear, wallet, etc. There should be a place for a GPS unit, too, instead of the maps that are intended for those vinyl straps.
I think new windshields and pop vents are still available for these, also.

I cant say anything to add what the others have already said.

Stan,
Thanks for the details on the vents, that will come in quite handy.
I did not get the picture of the colour scheme though?
Hopefully this week will give some time for the windshield!
Thanks again.

Windshield completed
Windshield completed
Finally I have the windshield completed. Had the piece of Perspex bent at plastic sign shop, using the mold I made earlier.
Cut it to size this morning and fitted. I also made a half size in case I want something lower later.

Others have already said it but it is still amazing to think that this started with a chopped up fairing and a dream.Great work!
I am in awe of your skills Matchless. Looks like nothing ever happened to it.
Andre, I am in awe of your skills as well!
You have the RB stamp of approval to play Conway Twitty on it!
Absolutely gorgeous... well done!

Dale, Thanks. As soon as I had taken this photo, the weather started building up and it seems as if its going to start raining soon. I was ready for a test drive and its now back in the garage waiting for tomorrow!
I need to find a good bike song somewhere!
Andre,
You need to put in for bike of the month.

...bike just keeps getting better and better! AWESOME JOB, ANDRE!!!
I had emailed back and forth some years ago with Craig Vetter, and couldn't resist sending him a note with a link to this thread (this morning). I wouldn't be at all surprised if he poked his head in here at some point - nice, down to earth guy, he is. I have no doubt that he'll be incredibly impressed with your fine work when he sees it, Pal!
Enjoy!

Most of the credit for this job really goes to the members of this forum as mentioned earlier in this thread. Without them it would never have happened and without this forum I would never have been acquainted with them.:clap:
Then all the positive comments helped to keep me motivated, as at times I wondered if I had not bitten off more than I could chew!
So thanks to all of you that helped me physically or inspirational, without you it would not have been possible.
If anyone ever contemplates doing something like this themselves, first have some tests done to see if you have not had a mental relapse! If your shrink says you are OK and you still think you want to, you are welcome to contact me if you need more specifics on how I did something.
Thanks again to all.
