    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.

Aluminum swingarm in black

I was originally planning on polishing this GS1100 swingarm for my Beast project, but is was just too far gone. Too much pitting and I couldn't polish the stains out to my liking. So she's back in black and going on the Skunk! \\:D/

I have another swingarm coming that should be in better condition that I can polish.

Thanks.\\:D/
I was thinking of doing the same to my swingarm but I wasnt sure how it would look. Now I know. And I like it!
Is it painted or powder coated?
Cheers
 
Being the cheap bastard I am, I painted it. It was etched primed and painted with engine enamel. If it doesn't hold up, I'll get it powdercoated when I do my Beast frame. But this engine enamel I've been using seems to hold up very well (Duplicolor Engine Enamel with Ceramic). This will be a good test for it.

Oh VERY nice Bruce! Can't wait to see what that looks like on the Skunk. \\:D/
 
That's the way I was gonna go...
Ifn I weren't a day late to the junkyard and missed that swingarm.:(

Black is beautiful.
 
Hey, I never thought about painting it! I wonder how it will look in RED!

Nice...

Nice...

Looks great in black! I vote red on yours. Old Red bikes always conjure up images of the Red Barons Fokker triplane for me. Timless color pairing of red and black...I bet yours has a higher top speed too. :)
