    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...

    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.

Attention fellow "T" owners,

This is my second try and third overall (that I know of) thread to showcase your bike. I've made some upgrades to mine and you can see them in these two pics:

Jan 2013 - Delaware



May 2014 - New Mexico



Post em' up if you find time this busy Holiday Season.

Odd how that attempt keeps falling out. It would be a nice repository otherwise. Here it sit with some stablemates

Time to fire up the garage heater for winter projects.

Yes sireeee bob there Ed, too bad I didn't get to take you up further up into the Gila again. I just saw the pic of your bike with the side panels, you gotta get those back on, makes the lines of the bike look cleaner!

What Stinking Side Covers?

What Stinking Side Covers?

^^I sold those side covers Bill--for like $10.

Every time I moved the bike, I would lean against the panel and it finally cracked. (When I was parking her like this)


I would like to make some steel side covers like Tank has on his "T" and paint them black. But like many things on backburner, that must wait.

I love those pics!

Reminds me of trips to rural New York, where it's only man and machine - and the open road.

You pull over, turn the engine off, and it's complete silence.

You look in all directions, and there's nobody to be seen.

It's why I'll ride till the day I die.
 
Which Way Did They Go?

Which Way Did They Go?

^^Thanks for your feedback Rob.

Hmmm...wonder where all the "T" owners are besides Yasser and me?

Right on. How was that bike this year? I note the chrome in front of the side covers, where the air box is on a 750. How come the chrome looks so small? Different air box I take it.

Are you talking about his Primary Airbox and the chrome covers on it? They're about the same height as the Carbs...maybe the angle is misleading.

I think the Airbox for the 750 and the 1000 are the same for the years 1982-83.

My observation is that the chrome doesn't make the same full contact with the side covers. Maybe that engine puts everything out of scale. That'll serve him right.

Since I am at home now (Yay! Break from work and N. Florida) I took a quick pic to investigate your question. Here's what I got:



I don't have side covers and I understand what you're saying now. In any case, I wanted to take a pic and share my "T".


Ed
 
Interesting, I have these laying around and believe they are the same style on my 83.

 
Chrome Baby!

^^They look the same same but you'd have to do a "fit check" to see if they line up.

I mean...Ed

EDIT: Now you got me wondering what my spare set looks like...I mean the one's on my Parts Bike.
 
Primary & Secondary Air Box

Primary & Secondary Air Box

Moar Pics:

I got this Airbox from Mark1320 and he said it's off an 83 GS1100R. The bottom 2 parts (Primary/Secondary) Air Box are the ones I took some warm soapy water to clean. The one with the chrome is from my parts bike. You can see slight differences in the ridges made in the plastic but other than that, the same box.

ATTN: JAG/Joanne, see how much different this airbox is to your's?

Yasser--check out the chrome covers on mine...one part of it is riveted and the other has a screw to hold it in place.

Ok sorry if this is too much on this topic.. That said the ones in my pictures seem larger, less tapered, more pointed, known to be from a T. Here is the ugly side with mounting tabs. Does that make sense?

^^Mine have the rust underneath them too...except I'm not gonna remove them to show it.

Threads can take some twists and turns...keeps things interesting. We gotta do somethin' until "T" owners find this thread and hopefully post their bike.

Always good to have pictures...threads are no good without them.
