    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.

tank swap

I have been thinking for a while about swapping my tank for one that's chrome with the black spots for your knees, like on a mid sixties bike such as a tc250. Does anyone know how universal suzuki tanks of the era are? I have a 78 550c, which is certainly similar to the 60's classics in spirit.

check the picture for an idea of what I'm talking about...
 
Um, you realize that those black spots are actual "rubber" pads that attach to the tank, right?

You would need a tank that's real skinny at the rear. I don't think any of the GS tanks qualify. BTW, most GS tanks with the single rear bolt would fit your bike, but most are larger.
 
I was pretty cranked on coffee when I came up with the idea... Switching out the black rear fender for a chrome one, getting a tank with chrome sides, black side covers, maybe going to a solo seat of some sort.... mid sixties cafe with more reliabilty....

after today's pot of coffee, I dreamt up more of a rat rod look, semi flat black paint, maybe some ivory pinstriping, still switching out for a chrome rear fender, so.. well I am known for my wishywashyness.
 
Actually, if that tank is anything like the Honda bikes, those chrome sides come off of it. Wouldnt be too difficult to emulate that look tho, with some fiberglass.
