    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.

You always manage such beautiful end products!
Will enjoy seeing the progress on this!
 
As I'm drawn back to the one I had in the late 60's, I remember that the tank had a u-shaped tank mounting bracket welded underneath and to the rear of it, and that the main wiring harness ran very close to that arrangement. Had a number of electrical problems with mine, and finally, after some years of owning it, found out that the proximity was so close to that area that the bracket cut into the harness and caused some shorts, big PITA. Part of the reason for it taking so long to discover was that the bottom front of the tank had a short 'equalizer' hose between some brazed or welded fittings, which meant that unless the tank was empty, or very close to it, to take the tank off meant that you had to take an end of the hose off one of the fittings, and dump gas all over the place. Many, many Suzuki mechanics in those days (and there weren't many very bright ones, including me!), would do anything they could to avoid taking the tank off unless it was absolutely necessary. Not the most user/wrencher friendly arrangement!:o:-\\\
 
Coolness. Ill be watching, and hoping for a video at the end with ring dinger noise:D
That tach / speedometer is one of the coolest gauges ever.
 
I am going to subscribe to this one.

Joe, I may be picking your brain when I start on my wife's X6 Scrambler.

The goal is shown in my sig, that is certainly not what it looks like now.

She bought the bike a couple of years before I met her, so there has never been a conflict over whether there are bikes in the garage. :D
 
Sure is a nice looking bike. Will be watching the progress on this one.
