    A note to new registrants...
    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.

It needed a name but i'm not married to it.

I am painting, tuning up, fabricating, blah blah blah. Started some light night tank work tonight. I am sanding it down completely by hand using a 3M pad and a 100% vinegar spray wipe down during breaks. Then I will pop the dents, bondo over the badge mounts, sand rest out, primer coat and then strip/line the inside. You can see how much rust revealed itself after I got it all dried out.

Glad to see you getting a thread going... any ideas on the direction for the project?

Specific plans for the tank liner? I can highly recommend the POR 15 kit but make sure you follow the instructions 100% to the letter to get a good job.

I am painting the tank, carbs, and custom highway pegs cherry/bright red. Aside from these minor things my low miles GS will remain 100% stock. As for tank liner the cheapest one.
