  • Been a while, still rockin' the 1100.

    Wow...I think the last time I posted was in 2016, with build pics back in 2014. Opened up my own paint protection film & graphics shop back in 2015 and have been busy ever since. Still riding the 81 cafe, still zero issues since built. Picked up an 01 ZZR 1200 for touring, but the XS is still my fave for bombing around town.

        There's an old thread still on here but you'd have to look up my handle "Garagamus". The bikes been through a couple of different paint schemes over the years. I think this is the one I'll keep, (as I get the occasional passer-by asking what year the "Norton" is). Electric start, all electronics are in a pan fabricated under the seat, as well as a small AGM battery on its side in the bump.

          Maybe not the same afterburner pull as the ZZR...but way cooler to arrive on.

                Found this at https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/kawa...=1514917268990

                May help you,i tried it and it worked for me.

                Just had this come up on another forum. May help cure photobucket missing photos on forums

                If you're using Google Chrome, go to the three dots on the right side of the screen and click them. A drop down should appear. Hover your mouse over "More Tools," and when the next drop down appears, click on extensions. Go to the link towards the bottom that says "Get more extensions." In the search box, type "Photobucket Fix," and hit enter. Click the install button and once it's done, you should be able to see photobucket pictures again.

                For FireFox users, click on the three bars on the right side of the screen, then click on add ons. Click search for "photobucket hotlink" and click install. Same result.

                Most bike problems are caused by a loose nut connecting the handlebars and the seat!!
