    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.

Early fit & finish

I got a kick out of this. I'm doing another S model, and was just getting ready to remove the old decals when I noticed how different the stripes are from side-side from the factory. BTW this is the nicest stock pair of side covers I've ever seen, too. Beautiful condition. Which one do you think is correct?

I'm going with the left one. The stripe is parallel to the top of the side cover. To my eye, that's the way it should look. :D
 
Weird. Had to take a gander at my covers to see if they're uniform --they is. Measured from the top of the blue paint straight down to deepest portion of cover (toward bike's front) and got 3.125" if that's of any interest.

Can't wait 'til you bestow your mad skilz on my S, Larry. You should have had plenty of "practice" by then. ;)
 
This is #7 Cooley for me, and they're all a little different. Precision gets a little lost in the production line, I guess. S model side covers all have a dimple right in the middle of them, and 90% of the ones I've done, that dimple was split right down the middle of the black and white stripe (maybe the dimple's there for that very reason), but they all tilt a little to one side or the other more. This one has the black stripe centered over it, which throws the correct height off a bit, too. Hopefully I'll have 7 that have been "standardized" :D .

I'd say the left one too. The type on the right one looks too tight to the fold... the left one is better spaced.
 
I can't really tell from the pictures. Send them on up to me and I'll be better able to assess the situation.:lol:
If I had to venture a guess I'd say it was a Friday/Monday thing.
 
Took a bunch of measurements before stripping the paint off my first S. One data point...

So Larry, does that mean you'll be needing mask or decals?

Hmmmm..come to think of it...I need the tank decals for the S, and I need 2 complete sets for a couple of '79 CBX's. I'll call you before the week is over, Jim. Thanks!
