    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

A month of work and just about done

Looks good. You've done a lot of work to her. I'm due for a repaint this coming winter. I can't decide if I want to paint the fenders or not. Now at least I've got a good idea what it will look like. Thanks for taking the time to restore a GS and to post the pics.
 
Very nice....it's always cool to see before, during and after pics!!
 
So tell us more about the paint you used? How did you prep the chrome parts for paint and did you paint the exhaust?What bars are those?

etc.

Wow that really looks cool, nice work. I really like the design on the tank, really sets it out from all the others in a good way. Also the black and inferno red goes awesome together. How did you apply the design? Just curious.-darren
 
decals ordered from EBAY stuck them then cleared over them,$12.00 for decals
 
The paint loooks very cool. I'd like to see a close up.

And I see you've converted it to the cutting edge no-carb spec. :-)

Looking forward to it completed.

It's so cool to see so many people willing to invest serious efforts into rebuilding/restoring older GS's ! Great job, a classy resto!! I normally am not a way custom guy, but I definately like the tribal accent on the tank, it works great with the paint, again very tastefull.
 
wow

Really great looking bike! If you don't mind me asking how much did you put into it money and time wise?
