    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.

So what do you guys think?

Here's a pic before and after of my paint/body work on my new (to me) 1100GL. What do you guys think?

Thanks to Jeff (8trackmind) for lots of help with the paint supplies and techniques!

Well done, sir.

Interesting design and choice of colors.

Did you clean the exhaust, or replace it?

Del
 
That is a great paint job! Really like how your bike turned out. Ray
 
Replaced it with an eBay model! The replacement is not perfect, but it cost $40. That old rusty header had been bottomed out many times and had a couple of holes as a result. Also, there was no baffle at all. Very annoyingly loud!
 
Nice I don't think I've ever seen that paint scheme on a bike well done.
 
Looks good!
I'm still amazed you got those dents out of the top of that tank.
 
I'm starting to rejuvenate the skin on my fingertips after all the hand sanding!
 
Very nicely done! That gives me hope for my project....
Hugh
 
Thanks all! I'm pretty happy with it, but you know how it goes, always some room for improvement. Next one will look twice as good and take 1/2 the time!
