    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.

Plasti Dip? Anyone try?

My GS850 looks a little too nice to start hacking up and repainting. I kinda want to see it in black, though. I was thinking about going the plasti dip route as you can always peel it off later and not ruin the originality of your bike. I'm kind of sketchy on the gas tank, though. I'm not sure its not just going to peel off where the seat rubs. Anyone try this stuff out with any success?
 
Not a motorcycle, but I blacked all the badges on my 4Runner. It's held up well over the last year or so.

It might peel off where the seat rubs, though (or anywhere that sees frequent contact). For a test—just to see if you like it in black—you can't go wrong. It will peel off without hurting anything.
 
it looks flat, but the texture really kills it. i tried it on my previous bike and it doesnt look good. it attracts dust and crap easily

Click to expand...

it comes in many colors not just black, and if you want it to shine up a bit and or give it a smoother texture use the clear coat afterwards...

I did the grill on my car, and all the badges on the wifes car (no pics of the badges) but a few of the grill

this is the black, no clear coat applied, holding up well

small parts look okay like your grill, but on a large panel like my old bike, it really looks ugly. just my opinion
