    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.

Oh hey Cole you dont have a set of jack stands or a bike jack i could borrow do ya? I need to take these forks off my bike to paint them and install my fork boots. I have yet to find a center stand that will work for my bike, and i plan on buying a jack, but there are other costly things taking precedence at the moment..

Yea I should have a set you can borrow I just got to remember were I put them.
 
cool! thanks man...i'll only need em for a few days prolly...and as i was typing that last msg i found a centerstand on ebay i just bought for 20 bucks with all the hardware...lol God knows when it will get here..Man i wish we would have more time on sunday..i got a few other goodies to do you might have fun with. Any idea on how to pull the rotor out of the motor?? I need to get the starter clutch and all that stuff out of that 80 to put in my 77...the part numbers all match so if i can do that and we get it wired up, ill have an electric start that works to go with my kick when im being lazy.
 
Night man I'll see you sunday if i dont talk to ya sooner...what time you comin over?
 
Its says rubbing compound. Its a thick gooey liquid. And it comes in a grey bottle. They sell it at AutoZone. Its in the paint section though
 
Gotcha, stuff i bought was a paste in a tub...didnt work for sh1t but i suspect im using the wrong stuff. Did you use a buffer or just do it by hand?

By hand. I don't like buffers.... It gets your arm tired but its only a tank so its not so bad doing it by hand.... I can't seem to find a picture of that stuff online So I'll take one tomorrow and post up so you can know what to look for. As for right now I'm taking off also. Been up way to long and I'm gonna have to wake back up in a few. I'll keep you posted on how the bike progresses and tomorrow hopefully I'll finish mounting those bags and get some pics of that for you

Ya lucky bastard. Crossin my fingers for ya. How much they going for?..... Dude if you win them you can use them as a template and have your friend machine them for you and make a few bucks
 
My max bid is 40 bucks...i wont go over that, i could have em made for that prolly..
 
HEY MAN. Didn't know you were on.... Pshh kinda pricey in my book. I think max I'd go is $25 MAYBE 30 if they came polished to mirror shine
 
well i HAD maxed out at 30, but that got blasted in one day..theres still like 8 days left on those.. i doubt i win them...like i said some of those cafe guys are nutters for that finned stuff..
40 bucks and thats it...besides, im almost dead red on painting my ENTIRE motor black...
 
Well if i DO paint the engine black, I'll either paint the frame brass, or the whole tank and tail and stuff brass with black lines, whatchu think??

I dunno painting the frame brass, in my head looks wierd. Maybe black frame, brass cases, black jugs and head, and bare alum cover or brass cover. That might look pretty good
 
The brass doesnt come in high temp...thats the only prob with that...
