    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.

What would you call this style?

hack away guys. does it run? do you ride it? then cut it up if you see fit. its 2 wheels. arguments over aesthetics rarely resolve. if i could have a few different bikes, one would FO SHO be a "bobber". nothing but engine and wheels. but, hey, whatever.

btw, my bike is now officially running like a cheetah after a thompsons gazelle. or like a raped meerkat. or.....insert colorful analogy here.....
 
The biggest problem I see with the lines on most of these bikes stems from modding it and using the original, ugly, humongous gas tank. A tank needs to be sensuously curvy. Suzuki squared theirs off. When i did my sons, I only reinstalled his original when I realized too late in the game that the beautiful one I scored on ebay was too narrow to install without relocating the coils. I'll be doing that this summer. The big tank goes with the big seat and the hideous rear plastic/metal rear fender fiasco.Don't get me wrong. When I joined this forum, it was after I fell intio the deal for my bike, and a year after my son fell into the better deal with his 450. I've come to really appreciate the knowledge, sense of community, and willingness to help of most on this forum. But the lines of the original tank only work with a big butt seat and an ugly fender.
