    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.

I have 2 81 GS1100E's and the blue is stock other than the pipe, the Red has a 1188 or so piston kit, ported, cams, welded crank, clutch, tranny is cut and every last ounce of weight has been removed.

Snapping the throttle at 5K in second will stand it up, in 3rd doing the same thing with a tug on the bars it will do the same.
Blue bike, not a chance!!

As much as power is fun look at weight, it plays a bigger role than you may think. My blue bike is close to 75 heavier than the Red.
 
had a blue/white 1150E with a carpenter built 1198...
stock wheel base and gearing and a heavy dog that only had engine work.
rolling it open in 2nd would produce a smooth and increasing wheel stand starting at 7k on the tach.
by the time 11 grand came along it would be near 100% vertical.
strange animal it was...kinda like a 2 stroke coming on the pipe.
sold it to a friend thats around 150-160lbs...a dirt bike guy...
he ran a 10.23@139..a real handful.
the newbie busa guys was getting there a$$es whooped on this day.
