Try this.. How to Post Pictures

Basically you can create an album with the pictures in it, then use the [noparse]

[/noparse] code to get it to show up in your post.

You can also use something like photobucket to upload the photos to then use the same code as above in your post.

been away from the forum for a while..... trying to get some of my projects finished instead of sitting on my ass in front of the computer...lol!!
i've acquired a few more bikes, and i thought you might enjoy a peek inside "the barn".

Thanks,
That's my sons car, we bought it for him as a graduation present. I love that 450 too, I originally bought the bike for my wife to learn to ride on. I went over the whole bike for her and she never tried to ride it.....it sat in the garage for almost a year and a half, so I said fuck it! I Put some cafe bars on it and now it's mine!!!

Got a question for you I just bought a 70 XS1 a bit of a piece of work can you tell me the measurements of the white stripes on the tank so I can replicate and paint it myself.Specifically I need the measurement of the start of the stripe in relation to the bottom of the tank to where the strip starts and the width of the stripes.The bike I have was repainted to look like a 71 I want this one to be close to stock with the exception of some super bike bars.

A bump for this same info. Anyone have the width of their white stripes and gaps handy?

 

[Beags64]

Pretty sure this is factory paint on my '71 tank. Looks like 5mm stripe w/5mm gap.

[Todd TCE]

Agreed. Looks like 5 x 5 tapering. What's the widest point at the front?

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

I used 1/4".

Note: All panel/striping is done on the flat section only, and follows the flat secton's edge...

1/4 or 5mm.....doubt the average person would know. Good call. Given I took a WAG on the color I'm guessing my painting shop has more 1/4" tape than 5mm too! Lol

Thanks again guys. Painter is on it
