    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...

    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.

Currently my bike looks like this:

When I put it all together this summer, I was in a rush to get some miles on her so I quickly threw this color scheme together. I like it but Im not in love with it So Im thinking about changing up the paint over winter. These are the colors Im thinking:

Black as main color, silver, gold striping.

Motor is also getting painted/polished. Head will be silver, jugs will be black.

I think using black as the main color, and a silver section somewhere with the gold striping and paint the logo gold with black outlining will add some class(?) to the bike. Pipes will also be changed out to a shorter 17" can and wheels will be changed out to a light gold painted spokes with a polished lip.

Anyone have any ideas how to make these colors look good? If you have time, feel free to draw something out

Nice looking Cafe project. To make it look better definitely look into re-painting the frame black though. That will cover some of your grinder marks and give it a clean set of bones.

As far as paint I think you should look at some of the triumph bonneville bikes for inspiration.

I like this scheme and i think it would look nice on a GS tank. Except where is is white I imagine it silver.

Still not really sure what to do with that tail though...
 
Your using on of the coolest bikes ever built as a paint idea. Cole Foster's Crocker bobber. It will look way cool with a tank painted like that
 
I like the Crocker paint job & contrasting colors but I think you need to work with the shape of the GS1000 tank and it's flat panels which lend itself well to another two tone paint job.
