Hey everyone, registering again cuz for the life of me I can't remember my old logins.  Maybe some of the old guys remember me as slowpoke, a member from the original boards back in the day.  For one reason or another (mostly health issues, but some happy family issues also) I haven't been riding much for almost a decade.  Still have the '92 FJ which has been in a state of suspended animation during that time.  But now that I'm at retirement age it's time to get back in the groove.  When I last checked in, I had done the GSXR rear wheel conversion, and had just finished the Frank Moore inspired FZ1 front end mod.  Gonna start reading through the board and see what's new!

Is there a thread somewhere with the details on the GSXR rear wheel conversion?  I have been playing with the search feature but not finding much so far.  Thanks!!!

If you want your log in details, contact Randy at RPM. He can reset your password and you can have your original moniker.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

'86 Ambulance - Bent frame, cracked case, due for an overhaul
'89 Stormy Blue - Suits my Dark Side

RPM - Robert

I was going to reset it but he had no posts or anything on it. So I just let it be. If you do want it I can change it for you.

Hey thanks, but it's fine.  I don't think I had that many posts here, unlike on the old Yahoo board.
