    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.

There is no "S" in the vin on the frame it just says GS1000. So I am guessing its not a Cooley but probably had some Cooley clone parts on it. I will getting into it this weekend taking the 1100 out and the coils and then getting ready to part it out. I already have had several people P.M. me for some stuff so hold tight everyone I will get to it.
 
Has anyone done a modern suspension swap and used a wide rimmed wire spoke wheel with modern radials? I think that would just look amazing. I'm going to go ahead and assume that getting a wide rimmed wire spoke wheel together is probably going to be expensive though. Looking at your bike in cafe gear sorta gave me the idea, that fat front tire is aggressive looking.

Okay so finally there is some progress. I got my frame gussets welded in tonight.
Here are a few pics.

Next I will break it down to the bare frame clean up any excessive welds and cut off a few more tabs then sand blast and ready for paint.

I am still waiting for the rear shock blocks from my machinist (good old Dad) then I need to have them welded on the swinger and then prep for paint.

At the same time I need to start the engine prep for the turbo!!!!!
