    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Thanks!

I got it on ebay after searching lots of different terms.

It is called a stone guard, and I had to buy a set of them. Thankfully I sold the other one to a member here... :cool:

My dad has these on his '57 Corvette. I've always loved them, and it's kind of a nod to the 60's styling.

ask that in the technical board, but first do a forum search so you're not asking questions that have already been asked.

as for this thread, here's a pic I took earlier today:

First time I've ever said this to a guy, but ... nice tail!

Did you make that?

Yeah, I can't recall what gauge steel I used, but it's overbuilt, heavy and a pain in the ass (literally). I was able to convince the sculpture professor that it was art HAHA! It's was more of a I avoid highway and it's all good :cool:
 
here is one of mine that I took today... i totally got my inspiration from some pics that I found on the internet of MidNightCafe's bike.. did not know you were on here. Thanks for the inspiration, hope I did you proud with my version.

Ok so this is what you were talking about, nice! Only thing I'd change is the rear lights-I bought a ninja taillight for $11 shipped of eBay that matched the trail pretty well. Cheers!

Looking good you guys. Midnight I think you should have a broad sword or mace in you hand in that picture.

here ya go:



it matches the edges okay but you can see there's a lot of dead space underneath. I'm not a metal forming expert and can't produce the contours to make the tail light completely flush (that would be a lot of work for just an $11 taillight!).
Also the lines are rather mismatched along the length of the bike, something I didn't foresee wih building the seat. Good advice is to take a step back and look at the complete picture during the rebuild process.
