Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech TBA Tank Cover

I can't remember where I read it, but it was on this forum somewhere! but the post was talking about the gap between the gas tank and the top cover, (I think the poster had installed a new tach)and was concerned about the gap and wasn't sure if he had it on right, anyway, someone suggested using the rubber that was for the windshield. I installed a windshield and did'nt put the rubber on. I put the rubber on the cover today and it really does add a 'finished' look to the tank.

Thanks to whoever suggested that, I am new to the site here and have picked-up several good ideas.

Pokey... Got pics?

Not sure how to upload them. But I'll look into it. I think it turned out nice.

Photobucket.com
Free account, then you can post pics here.

Pokey, click on PhotoPost (upper right) and click upload photos. The pic needs to be less than 200kb or it won't work. If you've downsized the photo (like you would an e-mail attachment), following the prompts will get it in your own gallery. You then need to right click (control-click if you have a Mac) on the large pic in your gallery and select copy image address. You can then add your photo to a post by selecting the image button under the Post writing box and pasting in the address.

RamSound:

My pictures are around 700kb each! I'll try Photobucket. Thanks

I signed up on Photobucket, Uploaded three pix, now what?

post the link to your photobucket album

Pokey, it's very easy to reduce pictures - just like you would if sending them in an e-mail to someone. Whatever photo managing program you use has a selection to do this or reduce for e-mail. I use Apple's iPhoto, select the piture, then select e-mail and send it to myself so I'll have a reduced copy to post. The PhotoPost in this program is very easy to use.

If using another place for your pics like PhotoBucket then while looking at your picture, copy the address on your browser window, write your post here, and select "Image" in the box below the post box and paste in the address.

OK RamSound, I'm getting there, I've uploaded two pix to the Gallery, but when I right click, all I get is the standard Windows list, ie: save as wallpaper, etc. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry it took so long to get this far!

IS this what you are trying to do?

You have to open the picture in PhotoPost, make sure it is full size and right click on it.
Highlight the Http://...........thing and right click on it to copy.
When you get to the post reply section in forums click on "image" and right click paste.
Clear as a bell huh?

Here's the other pic:

That's what I was trying to do! Thanks, my Bell's aren't as clear as they use to be! Anyway, this is what the 'windshield rubber trim' looks like installed on the tank cover.

(The tank is not scratched, must have had dirt or glare on the lens of the camera)

It's weird how things like this get lost in the shuffle sometimes. This mod has been going on for years around here. It was one of the first things I did to my bike when I bought it back in June of 2003 after learning about it on the old board.

Not sure if the photo shows, but it is a 1974 Daytona 500, purchased new by me in '74.
