    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.

  • 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.

Any new pictures you can share? Digging this build and need some new inspiration. Thanks.
 
Hey, 2hammer, great build here. Any way you can repost your pics for post #s 85, 92, and 99?
 
Z hammer,hopefully your still at it?Not sure what happened with the pics after 11-25,could you repost?Love the build,going with a mod of my own with my 82 gs E.Upgrading to run the mile time trials this year.Keep up the good work!RS:)
 
Well, it took a serious back seat for some family issues that have since worked out. During that time, I picked up some more parts, as that didn't involve any time. Now I have to make more adapters.

I have picked up some black '07 GSXR 750 forks as the ones I had needed to be rebuilt and the new set cost little more than the parts to rebuild. I also like the extra length (longest of the last generation GSXRs) as well as the black anodizing is nice and fresh. I got the adapters for putting my R6 calipers to them as well. They look nice on there.

I also picked up a practically unused pair of Marchesinis off a 2000 Ducati, they are the cast aluminum versions so they were cheap, but they look the part from 20 feet away. They were take offs from a dealership, still have nubs on the face of the tires. Tires and all for 300. They look sexy on there as opposed to the GSXR rims, but they will require more spacers, etc. and the GSXR rims bolt right up. So they may have to wait. Same with the aluminum bodywork I am fussing with, I want to get it back on the road. Two months has turned into two years. Ridiculous.

I will take some updated pics and upload them.

Cheers, Erick
 
LoL. I can't believe I missed this build till now it is awesome. Second funny thought, I was at an SCA Craft night last night and an armoring friend of mine and I were discussing guantletts. He showed me this site where you can order guantlett kits. I was very interested so I took down the name. Here I am going through the forums when your name pops up. I said what is the likelyhood of two people using that name. I searched the back ground of your pictures for a clue, the rack of hammers was a clue but you said you were a fabricateor, then I came across the picture of the Salle. You must be the one in the same considering I believe that is the same Sallet that is in your banner.

[FONT=&quot]Hey, Redneck, I suspected from your avatar you might play knock about on the weekends! Well, I decided to pull this out of the corner and back to the center of my shop. Last night I cut off the subframe tubes I had so far as I thought it was too far in the air and gave it a stance like a stinkbug. Cut my aluminum seat apart to narrow it up as much as possible and start making the sides to wrap it around the top of the tubes. Here is how she sits as of last night;[/FONT]

You really need to make some more progress on this bike because I am truly curios to see what the final product is going to look like. <impatient, maybe> :p

I had a couple of hours last night, so I made a little more progress on my tail section.

Well, after piecing this tail section together several times over the last couple of years!!, I shortened it by whacking 4 inches out of the middle and narrowed the waist another 2 inches and told myself if I don?t quit screwing with it I will never ride this again. So I plowed ahead with finishing this up.

I plan on doing the seat in two pieces with just black close cell foam glued to the removable trays for now.

Does anyone have a simplified schematic for an ?82 gs1100? Something generic perhaps, as I am debating unraveling the stock harness to make my own or starting over. It ran before I tore into it, but nothing is going back where it came, and I am looking to update the charging while I am at it. I really don?t like electrical.

Cheers, Erick
 
That's looking good! Once it's all painted up that should look really sharp!
 
Glad to see your back at it. I'd check with Posplayr on the electrics. It seems he was involved helping someone with a simplified one once. Could be wrong.

wow looks awesome. good thing u are returning to it again. i want to see the final results
 
That tail is absolutely gorgeously shaped. I love how the lines flow perfectly from tank to tail. I've always liked this build, keep up the great work!
 
Thank you everyone for the encouragement! I appreciate the schematic, Billy Ricks, that will be very helpful! Now I need to refresh myself on the options everyone has come up with to replace the R&R with something more modern and readily available. I was following a few threads about that a couple years ago.
 
Here's the list of R/Rs that will work. If you have trouble finding one for less than $50 let me know. I have one from an '05 CBR1000RR I can hook you up with.
 
Great looking bike. Something about a big round headlight on USD forks with a big aircooled motor looks just right.
