    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.

Hello there.
Im trying to find either a paint name /code and source for a can of spray paint for my bikini fairing. Color Rite and most companies don't go
back far enough.

1983 GS750E. US model
Dark Maroon red

Right now the fairing is purple. Gotta change that.

You might remove one of the side covers, clean it up with some rubbing compound, polish it as well as you can and take it to an automotive paint store and they can match it with their spectrum gun and probably put it in a spray can for you.
 
Being an extremely, um, frugal guy, I've gone to large parking lots and looked for color matching my needs on a car. Then off to rattle can aisle and search for year/model. Did OK! Problem now is finding a car that isn't white, gray or black.

My problem is the owners of cars in lot get all huffy when I test spray a tiny area on their fenders.
 
Duhhh, You're spraying the wrong fender!!! Spray it on the other fender then they'll never see it.
