    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.

Painted my rear wheel

Finally got around to painting the 1150 3.5" rear wheel I picked up. I used Duplicolor wheel paint in graphite color. It was gold color originally, and I was debating whether to paint the front gold to match the rear or the rear to match the front, Went quite well, I might take off the front and paint it as well.

Do the front now--you'll be glad you did later. The rear looks great--nice color choice!

Look good. What kind of prep work did you do?

I washed/degreased it, removed the old balance weights and sanded the glue off, taped off the aluminum colored parts. Did a last wipe , let it dry and started spraying it.
 
Looks great! Did mine a couple weeks ago, cleaned, took to kitchen sink wet sanded at 400 ended up with 1500 grit then used mothers and clear coated. After mounting sedelen mentioned about clearcoat yellowing if so will fix when time for tires or brakes. Anyway that looks great.

That looks reallly good, I prefer it to the gold, nice job there.
 
I had the bike shop mount and balance it with a new valve stem. I didnt touch the bead, the guy at the shop said it would be ok.
