    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.

Hey everybody. I'm not sure if this should be here or in appearance mods. I'm looking on ebay for case guards for a 82 GS550L and I found a set with a lot of srface rust on one side. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/engi...ryZ35595QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I have no idea how to put a link in so I hope that works. My question is does anyone know it I could clean up rust like that or does it look more like a repaint. I'd like to get them but I'd like to make sure they could be made to look good. If anyone needs parts for an 82 550l it looks like the seller is parting out most of the bike. Thanks for any help.
 
Take some 00 or 0000 steel wool and some chrome polish. They may clean up good enough to live with.
 
Thanks for the reply, only 5 days left and I didn't want to miss them.
 
I have one crappy case guard as well. The chrome is just peeling off. I'm going to take it to a bumper shop that does re-chroming. We'll see.
