    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.

Hi Guys,

i am new to the forum and I thought I'd post a few pictures of my current restoration project. I've had this bike for about 5 years and am finally getting around to restoring it. I have buffed all of the aluminum covers, swingarm, peg brackets and rims to a near mirror finish, and sealed the parts with a product called Shark Hide. Painted the rims and stripped the tank. Should be done in a few weeks. Looking for a right side cover, and a new or used set of pods (stolen off the bike last year), and some drag bars.Photos of the bike before, and current condition.

Looks great!! Also looks like you put alot of time and hard work in it.

I have the same bike and always wondered what it would look like black.
 
Joe - I may have an extra right side cover. It may be this weekend before I can look for it.

What are you calling "pods"?

Hi Blackhawk,

I just ordered some pod filters today from APE racing, so I got that covered, but if you can check on that side cover I'd be really interested. I need the right side cover and am emblem, but I can grab an emblem on ebay later.

Yea, please let me know about the side cover!

-joe
 
Thanks BassCliff,

I really appreciate the hospitality. Your site is incredible, it has everything a guy could want. Still have to change the headgasket, hook up the oil cooler and run some stainless brakelines.

I'll keep the pictures coming.
