    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.

This is the first photos I have posted from my 80 gs550E cafe project bike and I think that i have done a good job so far.

Let me know what you guys think,
love it?
hate it?
thanks for looking
 
i agree. looks great! you really captured the idea with the older style paint, too. good job!
 
I think its there...

I think its there...

That shadow effect between the white and the red on the tank is pretty sweet, although from the pics I cannot tell if it is intentional as it looks like it doesn't follow the whole curve.

How'd you do that?
 
The tank is actually recessed about 1/8th of an inch along the white line.
The metal fab guy did a great job with it.
 
I really like your work. The style is awesome. I was just putting together a Radio Flyer tricycle for my 3 year old today and looking at the paint scheme and thinking red and white would look cool on a bike as long as the styling could match it. You pulled it off well.
What did you paint the wheels with? They look cool!
