To post multiple pics, you have to have a photobucket account or another account on the net where you can store you're pics. Then copy and paste the IMG code from those pictures into your post and wa-la, mulitple pics per post.

facebook and myspace also work fairly decent to stock your images.

the actual act we perform is called 'hotlinking', where you use the images URI address in the image tag to display an image in any location that allows html code.

Yeah those are the ones. There are actually a few different brands, but those will work. I put mine on the bottom holes facing up to hide the wires better. Glad to hear you tore into that carb! Send us pics when you get them installed.

Well I got lights on my license plate but didn't really like the idea of having to wait for the led's in the bolts to come in the mail from Ebay so I went and looked around Autozone and found a Flex LED strip that I mounted on the front side of the bar I have between the lollypops, what I liked most about it was I found them in Yellow which is what the rest of the LED lights on my bike are, and since you can't run rear yellow running light I just mounted them so they lit up the plate without showing out back as a running light. only needed the one 4 inch strip and it came in a pack of two strips so got an extra one to figure out some other place to put it on my bike.

Finally got multiple pics in one post but now not sure why they are so small, small steps I guess really sad that it took me 224 posts to ALMOST GET IT.....

Re:Slowly but surely cleaning up 1 Week, 4 Days ago  
Well now that I THINK I got this whole multiple picture thing figured out gonna try and do this in a single post......

Got the rear fender the way I want it, as I told Tabatha I used the chrome button license plate dress up buttons to cover the bolt holes on the side where the sissy bar bracket mounts, had to grind the heads of the bolts down a bit but they work, also used the same on the front three holes where the passenger seat bracket bolts on, but on the back hole I wanted something a little different so I got a replacement bolt of the same size and I used J B Weld to put one of my old Navy Chief Coins on the head then screwed it down tight so the fender is still attached to the sub-frame. Found in an old post that Fireman922 used suction cups on the bottom of his passenger seat and went to wally world and got four suction cups that have the hooks on them for hanging Christmas decorations and took the hooks off and they fit nice and tight in the stock holes in the bottom of the seat and took the back tab off for the rear bolt and with the suction cups there is enough clearance so I can leave the coin on it covers just a bit of the top but not tenough for me to be worried about.

SO now I can ride bare by myself and its only a few seconds to put the seat on when chicky wants to ride with me and the four side bolts for the sissy bar if she really wants something to lean back on, will only take less than five minutes to put it back on. Gotta Love the clinic for the tremendous ideas you have provided/inspired in me. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT.










HOLY CRAP IT WORKED

To make your pictures larger, change the {img size=150}{/img} to {img size=499}{/img}. This is assuming your pictures are 499 pixels wide to begin with. And your bike is starting to look awesome. Nice and clean, good work.

Re:Slowly but surely cleaning up 1 Week, 3 Days ago  
i rode my vstar for 5 years in los angeles with an unlit side mount tag. I never once got stopped for not having it lit. i think its because the plate material is reflective so if a cop is behind you his head lights (or any other car's) is lighting the plate.

I got stopped for helmet violations frequently but never a word about the tag.
