    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.

since i removed the rear hugger and couldn't find the old guard, i thought i better make a new one. SUZUKI is etched, not a sticker....





just got to make a post to mount the rear,



 
Wow that looks realy nice, how did you go about etching the suzuki on there?
 
For a second there I thought you have become a new father, with a prison guard.....

good thing you have pictures to disprove my thought....LOL

.
 
be great to see a photo that's pulled back some too. nice work!
 
technically it is not etched, but to look at you would think it is.
basically you wet flat it with 1000 grit paper, then get a real good quality vinyl decal and stick it on. polish the hell out of the aluminium then peel the decal off.
there you have an "etched" copy of the decal. you need to use a good quality vinyl decal as the polishing mop will just rip off the cheaper thin decals.

i will post up more pics when i have made a billet rear support post for it.........
