    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.

Decals instead of stripes?

Decals instead of stripes?

Thanks for all the advice. Ultimately I am going with what make me feel good but I knew there would be a lot of good opinions for this question. I found some a way to make decals and might give this a try. That way I can always change it. I can get custom stripes and I have designed my side numbers. Any thoughts on decal stripes instead of paint?
 
The sacrelige is going to be cutting up that nice bike.

Couldn't you find some barn rescue to cut up?

How does putting a new paint job w/o emblems equate to "cutting up that nice bike?"

You do what suits your fancy, after all it is your bike!
 
From one old retired firefighter to one active firefighter, I say it's your bike and I like the idea of your badge number. I will admit, however it bothers me when some people debadge a metric bike to make onlookers think it's another brand. Mostly, those riders debadge a cruiser and try to imitate a Harley. I'm proud of my 3 Suzukis.

I agree. Like people putting "GT" or the Cobra emblem on a V-6 Mustang. Posers!

Thanks Brother, I am proud of my Suzuki as well and I am definitely keeping the side covers that say GS750. Besides the paint this bike will remain all Suzuki. I think the number will look great with the bike and it means something to me, as you know. Win win!
 
I had a similar 78 GS, and also took the badges off the tank, relocating them above the "GS 750" emblems on the side cover. Worked for me, but that was so long ago, no pictures to share...
