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.

I think they use red on the rotor but I whacked some blue on the bolt just to help as well as torqueing it up nice and tight...

Oh well... might be doing it all over again soon
Hopefully not! I didn't put it on mine either as I only have blue... I phrased that post really badly... apparently *some people* put red on them but it's not necessary and isn't done out of the factory...

Oh ok well the lock washer was completely flat, so I gave it some springy shape back and tightened with authority. Figured locktite would be a waste of time with the heat from the engine down there? Guess we'll see... it'll be the first thing I check if I ever have those symptoms again.

Based off a local artist named Walter anderson's block style print:
One of my favorite artists. May try to work this style into the actual paint job.

Mate that looks great, and incorporating that into your paint job would be wicked indeed

I'm sure what you have in mind will be better. But I have to say I really like the metal tank with the artwork... very edgy. Very rebellious and grungy. Keep up the great work.
I ultimately want a more structural and taller sissy-bar/luggage rack combo on my 79 850. Probably will go just a bit shorter than what you have.

It's just temporary while I'm getting the other tank finished up... I was just tired of looking at plain bare metal and I kinda wanted to try out a block style print to see what it would look like?

Wow, how did I let this get pushed back 3 pages!? haha
I've been really busy lately with work, but I've also been doing a lot of selling, swapping, buying... My '52 chevy has a new home now and I found this '74 xlh for CHEAP at a swap meet this weekend...
But don't worry, I've got a lot I want to get done on my hoard of suzuki's before I start working on this old american machine.

I think painting it just like that would be so cool!
