Here's a screen shot of my Browser. I am logged in. I'm on a Mac. Maybe the OS?

Strange. Mine says "Quote",Modify and "Remove" but you've just got "Quote" and "Modify". No idea

This is a test message to see if I can actually delete it.

This is a reply message to verify that the one I'm about to delete ever existed.

Yup, I was able to remove my test post.

Perhaps it's a permissions issue with your forum account. I *doubt* that it would be dependent on the OS you are using. For troubleshooting purposes, I'm using Linux Mint, Debian Edition.

I would have to agree. It's only recently that I've had the 'Remove' option because it wasn't there before when I wanted to remove a post. I've been using Firefox for years and and haven't changed any of the account settings. I don't even see any option in the account settings where you could so it must be an administrator thing

Maybe it's because I've got a red Magna. (Now we're back on topic.)

When I started this thread, I was mainly asking because I'm thinking about getting another Magna, and wasn't quite sure which color to get. My current one is black, but my first one was red. I need to get a new jacket and helmet, so that's playing into my thought processes as well. I like the yellow, the blue, and red. Black is a little boring to me, but maybe I just need to clean what I've got to see the beauty.

So if I got another Magna based on how healthy it is, I was wondering how difficult it would be to change it's color, or perhaps that's more trouble than it's worth.

Swapping tins is no big deal.. the rear fender is the hardest because of the wires, but not a biggie.

Well, it would be cheaper to pay someone to paint it than buy the panels/pieces.

Ive been thinking about this as well, but Im trying to decide if I want to go black, which the bike is now, or the yellow that was on my VTX, which would be MUCH more expensive.
I cant paint worth a darn, unless its enamel, but no way on clear-coat, so Ill be hiring it out, though I do have a few friends that can hopefully do it cheap. They already have everything minus the paint itself.

Ask around, maybe you will find someone to do it who you had no idea knew anyone like that. My mailman today said if my buddy couldnt do it, his cousin did good work pretty cheap...and Id have never thought to even ask him about it!
