    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.

Powdercoated the tank and then made my own stripes. Have to make my numbers, install my new carb boots, new stem bearings...alot on the plate but i have 2 more months of winter. I think the powdercoated side covers came out good. Powdercoating more tmrw, like steering comp.
 
Made # plates....have to make some #'s still. Red 3's with a red pinstripe around the black plate..............
 
Nice job. I like the pipes too. Does it have the silicone coating on it?
 
Going to be a great looking bike! ;)

Boy that is a good looking tank, I saw this guy in Reno rattle can a bike gold and thought it looked good.
 
Looks fantastic. Hope mine looks that good when its finished. Why an L tank though?
 
I like it, but can I ask was black a standard Suzuki colour?

Because I was think of painting my tank black and not silver.
 
Oh! I like that paintjob! Very nice! Its going to be a looker!
What are your thoughts about the tail?
 
The bike has a L tank because its a GL. Its powdercoated with "almost chrome". Then I made the stripe with black viynal. I'm going to put red pinstripe around the black on the tail.....then put red #39.....its my grandfathers race number. The wheels are black with a red pinstripe.
 
the exhaust has the black header wrap....with the black spray on silicone. Ran it all last summer......worked and looks great.
 
Heres the pinstriping on the rear tail. I rolled the wheel into the swingarm to see what it looks like. Matches nice. I still have to find the right font for the numbers.
