    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.

Bike sat out back of my buddies house for maybe 3 years and all the tank had was primer. I got the bike for a trade on some loans i made and got it back road worthy. been riding it with the primer on for a few months now to work and just running around in general.

Weather has finally warmed up enough to paint so last weekend I got after it. stripped the tank, reprimed, and shot it black. It passes the 2 FT test!! Repinted the black background on the tank badges also.





 
Let it set a few days to cure. Got the DA out and ran over it with Turtle Wax rubbing compound and finished off with Turtle Wax polishing compound. Guess by the fogginess of the pics I need to clean the camera lens...LOL Now if I can find a set of decent side covers. The bike didnt have any when I got it.
 
I dont know....got a buddy who manages a paint supply house. I tell him what color and he does his thing. I do know the clear is a 2 part deal..add the activator at a 4 to 1 ratio. Im heading out to eat. Will look for details when i get back home.
