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.

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.

casing emblem dilemma

ok so i am english and stupid and i still cant work out how to post pics on this site properly so this thread will be repeated twice with 2 different pics.
basically i got 2 genny casing emblems and only one bike and i cant decide which one to use. will show the 1st in this thread and the 2nd in the next. the thread that gets the most replies in a week will win.
 
Put on the one that matches the other side. :-D

I would go off of what is on your tank. Some tank emblems were gold, some silver. Match it up.

my bike is black and white, the ignition cover is polished with a clear cover and lit by blue led's so that has no bearing on the matter.
 
thanks ground shock. took a lot of work but i think its worth it. anyway i am totally in a mess now. been swapping emblems over and over all day and still cant decide which one i like best
 
wow that ignition cover with the lights is way cool...

where did you get that at?
 
ok guys, have decided now. gonna go with the black and gold one, matches the handlebar end weights and im gonna make some polished brass cam end caps so it will blend in.

ps. i know you are a long way away but if anyone wants to buy the black and silver one, brand new genuine suzuki, still got the original fixing sticky things on the back then let me know

If you feel like being a cool guy, a how-to on that cover would be badass.

its really quite easy, just cut out the middle circle leaving the outer "ring". i used i hand held multi tool with a grinding stone on it. you need also to remove some of the srengthening "webs" on the inside of the cover to make it look better. carefull measure and mark 6 holes equi distant around the outer edge and drill and tap them, i tapped them M5 thread.

i then purchased some pre cut 1mm thick perspex from ebay, i believe it was 99mm diameter so its a nice snug fit. then mate it up on the cover, mark it up and Very caefully drill the holes. be carefull though cuz the perspex cracks easily when drilling.

the whole inside of the cover was then polished, to reflect the light and the crank centre nut and bolt was polished too.

the leds are off the shelf mni leds, 3 on a self adhesive surface mount, all wired up and ready to fit, available in many colours, fit these up towards the top right hand side of the cover.

then just wire them up, either to a 12v supply switched by the ignition or you could wire them up to your lighting circuit so the led's only light up when the lights are on.(may be wrong but i believe most of your models have the lights permanently on anyway!)

hope this "how to" helps but any questions please ask :-D
