    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I went a different route. I wanted some contrast. It's Duplicolor "cast iron" engine enamel. Still tough as hell after 2 years.

Measure the thickness of the fins leading edges and get some pinstriping. Apply the pinstriping, paint, let cure, remove pinstriping.
 
Here is my engine I am currently assembling, the cases were silver, bought some engine enamel called low gloss black. Of course I have chrome and polished aluminum covers that will go on it.
 
my god steve can you have a cleaner bike lol...well its now cold out..so i might not paint mine this year...

but steve you bike is exactly what i had in mind
 
Thanks. :oops:

The first two shots are my wife's bike, the third is my #2 son's 850.

You can see the rest of the stable by clicking the links in my sig. :D

I had my sidecovers powdercoated rather than polished. I'm too lazy to polish.

They don't photograph too well, but they look really good. To my eye anyway.
