    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.

LOL, thanks but its actually photoshoped. Wish it was actually that. Sorry to ruin it for ya.
 
So last night, I started putting everything back together. The bags and side covers turned out great! I was in the process of putting on custom made SUZUKI GS850G stickers I made at work when I ran into a problem. Apparently the old paint and primer had a reaction. When I went to remove the GS850G sticker, the paint came off with the transfer paper! DAMNIT ALL TO HELL!!! So I had to sand down the side cover to the primer and re-spray it. Thank god I had just enough paint left in the rattle can to put color on. Too bad it's not perfect but I just needed it to look OK for now. Once I get home from my weekend camping trip, I'll end up painting the cover, tail, and maybe the tank. Pics of that will come, and pics of my trip (East Coast Sturgis) will be posted too.
 
As promised, here are the pics of Bags finished (slightly). All loaded up for the trip.
 
We'll my trip is off to a great start. I'm sitting in a tow truck right now on my way back home. About 50miles into the ride she lost all power to move. Its doin the same thing she was before I replaced the coils. I have no idea. But thanks to my dad, he's letting me borrow his 78 GS550 for the trip.

Been a while since I've been on here. Was deployed, yet again, and about to go, again. Damn my luck. Since my 850 has sat for over a year w/o running properly, she's now up for sale/parting out. Feel free to email me if you're looking for something.
