    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.

Anodized Metal

I found a product called Metalgard Anodized Surface Color System. Its basically a transparent coloured paint that you spray over chrome, polished metal or silver-painted surfaces, and dries to look like an 'anodized' surface. It comes in a few colors. I did some of the parts on my Marauder in red & it looks really good. It especially looks sharp over chrome.
it doesn't really match the style of my older GS550, but for those of you who like the look of anodized metal, it does the trick.
 
I don't have a digital camera! I jsut bought an expensive 35mm camera 2 years ago before digital cameras became affordable, & I'm not about to replace it!
I painted the bar-end weights, the insert on the 'air cleaner' (PAIR valve), the dash trim piece, and I made two polished aluminum trim pieces for the sides of the radiator. I painted them red. It really looks good. The thing about the Marauder is that it's got a lot of chrome so there are lots of potential places I can add a little color.
This stuff comes in blue, green, red, yellow and purple, plus there is a special silver base coat for use on non-metallic pieces.

FYI, if you check the Sunday ads at places like CompUSA and Officemax, they often sell 2 megapixel cameras for less than $100 (after rebate). That's a pretty inexpensive price for a decent digital. Regular price is generally around $150 (or less) -- send in the rebate form and PRESTO ... you've got digital for a reasonable price!

Enjoy,

I know I can get one cheap, and I should probably have one. It's just not on my list of priorities.
 
You can get you pictures copied to CD almost anywhere. If you know that you are taking 35mm pictures and might want to email some of them, have it doen when they are developed. Cheaper that way. I get CD's almost every roll now. I also have a 35mm and Im not just ready to get rid of it yet. Its only 25 years old and still takes great pictures.

Do you have a scanner. I don't have a digital camera either, but I've used my scanner to get my avatar pics. Just my two pennies.
