    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.

Fix for ugly weld seam on bottom of tank

My GS1100GLD has the typical spot welded seam around the bottom of the gas tank. Some paint had chipped off (probably from trying to adjust the mixture screws with the tank on). As a solution, I purchased some chrome (colored) door edge guards from Wally World. The brand I bought has adhesive inside the groove. If the plastic chrome is warmed a little before applying, it folows all the curves nicely. The results are even better that I anticipated. It adds a little more "trim" to the old girl.

I did the same thing with a roll of chrome edging I found ad Auto Zone. It was $10 for 18' of the stuff. It looks pretty nice too.

I wish I had seen that!
 
I was planning on the same but with black instead of the chrome.
 
Use the chrome trim on the edge of your fron fender if it's painted. Nce contrast effect. I use the stuff on all the sharp edges. It's a cheap and easy touch up.

I did just that to my girlfriend's Honda ACE. Add a little class to the plain fenters.
