Looks good. I did about the same thing with 'HONDA' letters on the valve covers. Used semi gloss black paint and a tiny paint brush.

Good places for the wind generators? Lots of them around here.

Around where?

has to be in Signature, Profile does NOT show up in Xenforo

John. is there any way that new members could be reminded to fill out the signature line? I know you can't force them to do this, but that info would make it easier for other members to help them.
AND some of the older members!!

the folks up in Canada who maintain this forum, have refused to fix that very situation since Day One.

I immediately complained when we first were introduced to this Xenforo mess to do that very thing.
Steve Saunder's software enforced that, if they did not fill out the profile, they were not allowed to Register.

Sounds like Canada has different privacy rules and are pushing them on us. Is there any way to let new users to PLEASE fill out the signature line. Maybe a sticky on on the register page, if that is not part of VS.
I know some users would rather not show personal information, but year, model and City do not compromise their identity.
Just makes it hard for anyone to respond to a question. Even asking the OP for that information does not help. They don't put it in further posts.

IT Team refuses to modify our software, they have well over 1,000 forums now, and they are all straight out of the can, except for the headers and nominal Setup Features that they are able to use a CHECKBOX

Thanks again John. looks like we have to keep reminding posters about year and model. I know I've passed answering a few because of this.

I have made it my 1st Priority to watch the postings to see if the Header or the post indicates what bike they own.
when I see that, I then modify their profiles to put that info where it belongs....

I will NOT make any exceptions for this, you will post your info, or I will do it for you

I'm glad I have mine on my avatar and signature line. You're tough!

Has anyone tried to re-do the gold finish on the emblems? I saw some bright gold paint at the big box store and was considering wet sanding the gold to get the bubbles off, shooting the gold on and follow up with the black markers. Thoughts please......

Never used the gold paint, but I did use some that said it was chrome. While it did ot look exactly like chrome, it was a lot shinier than the aluminum paint. Sprayed some clear over it and it wasn't bad. The markers did do a nice job on Bike and Dennis project, a satin finish enamel would work also.
I used it on the engine covers on my 2012 right after I got it.
Sorry about the reflections.
