    Good'day Mates ..

    And greetings from Canada .. yes the Photobucket thing works great, can't wait to see your pictures .. nothing like cranking it over after a rebuild for the first time, and have her roar to life.
    I'm on my second.

    Morning, you are 12 hours ahead of us Canucks.
    When trying to post pics you can always put it in the "Message" section and hit "Preview" if it works you'll see the pic, if not just clear the box and try again.
    If you still don't get it then close the screen, that's how I learned, repitition, just like the teachers did at school! :roll: :roll:

    Wow !! thats amazing.. I assume that bike was an ex-police version. Carbs look brand new (or did you sand blast them?)
    nice bike. Enjoy and ride safe eh !!

    Camma... heres what I did to get that picture up....

    click on the link you supplied. It takes you to your photobucket album.

    mouse over an image... when you mouse over an image you will see a sprocket in the top right hand corner of that image.

    Mouse over that sprocket... dont click it. It will show you a menu... click on "get media links" from that menu.

    scroll down to IMG code... 5th link down. you are looking for a piece of code that looks like this below. copy that link.

    IMG]http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b559/camma2/100_1041-1.jpg[/IMG

    I have removed the outer brackets here so you can see the piece of code to look for rather than the picture.

    paste that code it into your reply box and submit that post and you will have an image up.

    below is what happens when the brackets[ ] are added to the above code....
    hope this helps.... nice bike too :D

    Hi from Perth as well!

    XJ750P with a seca seat and tail? What did you find to bolt the grab handle to?

    If you need a tail light, I have a spare that was given to me by another member on here (cds1984)

    Wow, is that 2nd picture the finished bike! That is a beaut, never see the "Bronze" riding something that nice. :roll: :roll:
    All those extra lights, aerials and horns would clutter it up!
