The Premiere Web Portal For the V-Star 1100 Motorcycle

Gallery Submission Guidelines

I'll be glad to post your picture in the gallery.  You can make my life a little easier by adhering to the following guidelines:

1)  Send the picture as an attachment to an email.  Do not imbed the picture into the body of the email.

2)  The picture should be as high a quality as possible, 72 dpi and at least 500 pixels wide.  I resize all pictures to 500 pixels wide and use jpg compression on them to get them to display and download quickly (as well as not take up too much space on my server).  So the better picture I start with, the better it will look.  Don't use fancy borders on your picture.

3)  I can only post one picture, so send me the best one!  Ideally it should be the shot that best shows all the accessories you've added.

4)  Include (in the email) your name, city and state, and ISRA# if you have one.

5)  Include (in the email) the year and model (Classic/Custom/Silverado) of your bike.  Use the format:  'XX Vstar 1100 Model

6)  Include (in the email) any accessories you've added, especially those that are visible in the picture.  Please include these as one long list, with each accessory separated with a comma and a space.  For example:  Yamaha Tall Shield, Cobra Slash Cut Slip-ons, Corbin Seat, Yamaha Saddlebags

7)  Don't try to format the email with spaces and tabs and html.  Here's what the ideal email body should look like:

Glenn Abbott
Dallas, TX
ISRA #1234

'03 Vstar 1100 Classic

Yamaha Tall Shield, Cobra Slash Cut Slip-ons, Corbin Seat, Yamaha Saddlebags

Here's a bad email (and unfortunately too typical and if you think you're being original by sending me this, well let's just say it lost its humor about 100 emails ago!):

Hey man, here's a picture of my bike!

8)  Once you are ready, send the picture attached to an email to webmaster@vstar1100.com

When it is posted I will send you a note saying that it's up along with a link to the full size picture. I tend to gather up a few days or weeks worth of pictures and post them all at once, so if you don't hear back from me right away, don't panic.  Use this link to show other people on the web your bike (like you can add it to your signature on the ISRA and other forums).

Note:  It takes a lot of time and effort and money to keep this site going.  Please consider making a small donation to help support the effort.  I ask only $5.00 in return for keeping your picture posted and giving you a way to link to it in your emails and posts on forums.
