    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...

    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.

    GS1000 Fork cover resto

    A cheap looking plastic part on our 1000's in my opinion. I will use a chrome one from another Suzuki when I take the forks down. If doing a restore,different story.

    here comes a rally car...oh wait its a bike!

    I believe most on this board prefer stock "noise". I personally like an exhaust to have a little "authority" without becoming obnoxious. Kerker 4/1,Mustang V-8 type of exhaust notes.

    Removing paint

    A great job can be had with most any quality spray can black gloss paint. Prep is key as in all paint jobs. Consider that when all the parts are back on the bike maybe 10 or 20% of the frame is all that's visible. Save the cost of powder coating and use it for other parts.
