    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'm on hold building my engine (waiting for parts), so I had a few minutes and started playing around with my cam side covers. Which do you like:

Picture this one with new chrome:

Or Painted:

Or the traditional chrome one:

I guess I could do the original style in black, too. Keep in mind the motor will have black side covers. I'll be using chrome bolts wherever I can...
 
That is cool. How did you do that? I am always a fan of black (I powder-coated my covers). The covers might also look cool in some sort of satin aluminum finish.
 
I think you should have all the edges of the cooling fins on the complete engine in full shine, as a contrast to the gloss black. lotsa work there, huh?

the first one I left plain, the second one I painted, and the last one I just buffed the edge of the painted one with a soft wire brush in my drill. :)
 
I like the plain finned one even though you were thinking of chroming it. I like look of the edges of the fins on the head being filed down like on my 700
.
 
do that last one with the brushed fin tips. then do it to the rest of the head.
 
Now that Ive seen the black finned with the polished fin edges, that is now my vote.
 
Mr. Chairman!

Mr. Chairman!

The geek from So. Cal. casts his vote for the next President of the United States, Finned Chrome! :clap:


Thank you for your indulgence,

A vote from the UK.

Perfer the silver head and rocker box with the shiney chrome caps myself.

Suzuki mad
 
I'm leaning toward painted and filed on the head and the covers. But it's tough to judge without knowing what the rest of the bike will look like.
 
just my 2 cents :) = chromed finns
You'll have to let us know what you decide in the end !
