    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.

So the chromed mag cover bit the dust in the 2009 crash and seeing how the OP kept all the chrome and added more I guess I should have the replacement chromed. How much does that cost and where shoudl I ask?

Thanks

Thanks! Well, that is what she looked like when I got her. She's been used up pretty good after I put 20k miles on her in the last two years. A dear friend gave me the replacement cover to get me back on the road but I am now yearning to give her a bit of that Bling back.

I have not looked on ebay but I will - thanks again
 
If you have a good one thats not all scratched and gouged send it to me and i will polish it for you..not chrome but as close as youll ever get on aluminum.

Why dont ya just get that one polished, or better yet, polish it yourself?
If you dont have the equipment another alternative would be to find someone on this board that'll do it for ya?

If the scratches arent really deep and in an acessable spot, you can take some 220 and your orbital sander and smooth things out. Then use the finest you can get and resand the areas till satisfied with the area and then it can be polished..its a ton of work but it can be done. getbit as smooth with the finest grit you can and the sanding wont show when polished out.
