    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.

Just buy a headlamp that fits as they are readily accessible at any tuner store or evilbay and an H4 HID kit. It cost me $75 up here so in the states it would be ah free. The ballast is quite small but don't get the super small ones they are crap
 
received my lockup cover and put it on too bad its empty. looks impressive though. i am waiting on my new billet basket with HD backing plate to show.All bodywork out for paint and a new shinko rear coming as the 190 mounted is into the chain a hair also ordered a chain guard from schnitz and sending out a bunch of stuff for anodizing this week. installed new brake lines and bled the brakes and completed my turbo oil return line.

Steve, i sure hope your son gets introduced to this very important aspect of vintage bike restoration. If he is, it will turn him into a lifer.
 
I saw your bike at the show today. Beautiful machine. When I went by the Classic Kat booth only Ted was there, no blonde seat covers.

I ended up getting a runner up in drag bike category which is where they decided it should be. Guy that won had a stone stock zx14 with swing arm extensions oh well. It was fun meeting lots of katana enthusiasts and people who have an appreciation for old bikes in general. Gonna have to bolt on a fake nitrous bottle to win I guess.

@ odin1, I can point you to a shop in Mississauga, if it's closer to you....the one that did my seat.

not the blonde type, unfortunately
