    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

New paintjob! What do you think? (pics)

I plan on putting on progressive springs with black bodies and chrome springs.

Another thing i noticed now that I look at it, i need to get my seat recovered. I want something darker and synthetic, not leather. I think leather would a) be too expensive and b) fade too quickly. I think i'd like to have some foam shaved off too, so that the seat blends better with the tail section.

Anyone have any ideas?

The more I see other 450's the more I think my seat is overstuffed....

Looks sweet btw.
 
man, i dig the classic black /white theme!
looks really good.

i love the S/E tank, looks so much better than my stock T tank...
but i went with a GT waterbuffalo tank...hope to have it cleaned up here soon.

nice paintjob hero.
looks simple but classy!
 
Verry nice! I just put a quote in for a very similar paint job. Now that I see it on yours, I'm sure it's what I want.

Seat looks to be in good shape. Mine is off to http://www.sargentcycle.com/ as soon as I can get to the Post Office but I'd bet they'd work with you to give you any look you want. Without seeing the front end, consider painting the headlight bucket too while you're at it.
