    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.

Using spray in bedliner as tank and fender paint.

I like the finish on that. It's much finer grain than what's on mine.

I never have understood the brake light and tag bracket on the swing arm though.

I love that look, I always have. Although I misunderstood Florida law and got a horizontal mount instead of a vertical one. My dad (who's a cop) came by today and mentioned that they aren't illegal any more. I'll probably be changing it out with a vertical one now.
 
That looks awesome! I want to see what the tank looks like. Great work.
 
I did what I had to do with the GS450. And I only sold it for $550, no profit involved there.

About the bedliner, it is very hard to remove but very durable. I am currently trying to remove the bedliner off of my 1100E. I tried a DA sander with 150 grit and the sand paper was destroyed within 1 min.

It's not that I don't like bedliner. I just think that the stock red 1100E was sexy as a stock bike :). Looking good there!
 
I used Linex on the inside of my "S" fairing to cover repairs and add a little strength, but wouldn't use it on anything else except for maybe a messenger service rat bike.
 
Here's a pic of mine - can't see it too well, but it may give you an idea of it. Rustoleum bed liner from the spray can. It's a look smoother than the roll on and not nearly as durable - it's already chipped in a few places, but fixing that was really easy. And I just used painters masking tape.

I put that bed liner stuff on an AK47, and it looked pretty good, and it is tough. On a bike it is sort of a road warrior look, not all bad, I have seen a lot worse finish ideas. I think rustic might be the word.
