Merry Xmas to me....

I think what I like best is the non-stock color scheme. I get tired of seeing the same old thing on certain models of bikes. This is a nice change.

Thanks Angel. I got alot of my inspiration from another member who did his own rattlecan job in black with white stripes.

Very Nice!!....you did a great job. \\/

Thanks beby. I have yet to see it outside on a bright sunny day but I think it'll look even better then.

Looks great! I just picked up a '78 GS750 myself... identical to your pre-work pictures. Looking to do some modifications also, but doing some research and questioning prior to spending any $. Just wondering, how do the new handlebars feel with the standard foot position? What is the rise and sweep? Thanks,

Wow, that is a nice paint job. Seriously nice.

Looks great! Not only the color, but the Daytona-like striping.

 

[Trackster]

Simply amazing. How many compliments have you gotten in person?

Thanks! I've been trying to squeek in some neighborhood riding to rebreak her in, so to speak. So far I like the bars, but I don't have much time on them. Tarbash has the same bars, that's where I first saw them so he may give some feedback. I think a lot of guys have them since they're standard clubman bars off ebay. I like them in the little riding I've done but I'm only going to use this bike around town. Don't know how they'd be on a longer ride yet.

Wow, that is a nice paint job. Seriously nice.

Thanks. You guys definitely inspired me. I've got a little ways to go yet to get her completed but I'm getting there. Too bad winter set in here in DC today.

Thanks geezer, hard to go wrong with those colors right?

Simply amazing. How many compliments have you gotten in person?

I wish I could take all the credit.:-D I've got a short list to finalize before I get her on the road including some carb fine tuning and valve adjust. Hope to ride her a lot more in the Spring. We'll see how it goes eh?

I really love that color and stripes....niiiice...that caliper paint though IMHO needs to go...clashes with that beautiful paint job.

 

[Clone]

Is that color called "Black Cherry"? I really like that color that changes from black to red, and the stipes are great.

Excellent!! \\:d/

Your bike is spectacular!

Your bike is spectacular!

Thanks. I think you were the very first fellow GS'r I talked to back in the spring before I found this site!

Excellent!! \\:d/

Thanks...wish it would warm up so I could continue my short list to finish it off.

Thanks Sasquatch..There's a couple things I would do over but I've just got so much time into overhaulin' those calipers. I'm kinda done w/em for now and have to finish the last few things on my list before I go back. The gas cap came out a little more gold, I was hoping for more of a titanium that would more closely match my custom banjo bolts.

Is that color called "Black Cherry"? I really like that color that changes from black to red, and the stipes are great.

Yeah, exactly! Black Cherry is what I was going for but I'm not sure what the exact color is I chose. I could find out easy enough if you need it. Thanks for the compliments.
