    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 have been thinking about paint for my 80 gs1100/gsxr/Bandit conversion. I am old enough to remember the John Players Special paint jobs....gloss black with gold accents

The tank, tail piece and side covers would be black. Lettering on the tank & covers would be gold, maybe a little gold striping but not much. There would be gold calipers, maybe gold wheels & a few gold accents, the whole point is to make it subdued, classy, not garish in any way.

Your thoughts?

Does anyone have a bike pic or maybe someone would do a quick photoshop pic for me?

I used to have a match box or hot wheels car like that.

I would think it would look good but done with gold leaf.
 
That has to be one of the sexiest open wheelers of all time ever!

Back in 1984 Suzuki did something like that with the Katanas - Black engine, forks, gold frame and swingarm with little gold bits here and there.
Looked nice but didn't age very well. At least mine didn't.

I would think that rather than painting the whole calipers gold, paint black and accent them instead.

Also black wheels with a gold ring around would be so cool!

Maybe I should use this as inspiration for my 84 Kat.....
