    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'm won't be doing that again.

I wanted to get the airbox covers rechromed and while it was off I thought I'd do a carb refurb thanks to Robert for suppling 'o rings, I had been totally inspired by the polished carbs I've seen here, (I think Renobruce and Steve), I thought I'd have a go myself. A lot of effort and by the time I'd rebuilt them they were less than awsome.
They do look better but not as good as I've seen others. I had all the steel bits nickel plated and all thats left is to tune the air/mix adjustments when I get time. There was a slight tight feel on the throttle that has gone now due to a strange high spot on one of the slides, and the choke is now super smooth so all was not a waste of time.

Beautiful...even your frame is chrome! That's different but does make the appearance look clean.

That's cool, wish I had the patience to do that kind of work. That's way more cosmetic detail than I am going to do to the XL project I have going on now. Nicely done.
 
Jeez anymore bling and you guys will be getting free memberships in the local HOG chapters.

Speaking of Hardleys, down at my bank today they were rolling in some blinged out barge that they are raffling off for a local charity. Now for $5 I might have been in but $20 a head is a tad steep. Of course, its likey worth $25K or better and that would buy a lotta GSs :) so maybe I should buck up.

Good work and thanks for sharing.

I buy a ticket from time to time on Harleys raffled for charity events...and immediate resale would be the plan.

Thanks, the bike is quite tidy now but everytime I looked at it there was a hole in the middle that made it look unfinished.
After all the time and messing I don't think it was a wise time investment, I didn't want to paint them engine case grey/silver but it might be the way to go.

Yes you! Thanks for the inspiration.
I will do the engine cases when I get time,but I will take them back to the brushed laquered look, I managed to get that look on the fork legs just right but flies and road chips are getting to work on them already.
