    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.

Saw this bike on craigslist. The bike just looks like it is set up incorrectly. The rear brake pedal, rotor and caliper are on the wrong side. I've never seen a japanese bike set up like this before. Emailed the seller but have not gotten a response. The bike just seems backwards to me.
 
The picture is reversed. Front brake, ignition cover, all of it is backwards.
 
Even if the picture was reversed, how could the brake pedal be on the left side. I just can't get my head around it, is it a mirror image? Are we looking at the left side of the bike? The engine looks correct but the controls are switched.

If you reverse the picture, the bike will be facing to the right, meaning you are looking at the right side of the bike.

The brake pedal and muffler will still be visible, but on the right side, as normal. :o

As the picture sits in the ad, what side of the bike is shown?

The RIGHT side.

But it has been printed in reverse, making you think it is the left side.

Remember, it's Craigslist. The only thing you can count on is that it's ALL WRONG.

Here is a KZ 750 facing the same direction yet the controls appear normal.
 
After I held a mirror up to the monitor, I can see that it is the right side. Didn't realize I needed a mirror to view craiglist ads.

So how did they make the forks look so bent?

There are 2 possible reasons.
1 they are bent
2 from the look of the pic it was taken close with a wide angle lens,they tend to "bend" thing on they're edges.You notice it a bit on the back of the bike to.
