    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.

Paint Schemes/color chips?

Hello,

Does anyone know where I may be able to find information on what color schemes were available in what year (and if possible information on the corresponding color chips)?

I am about to pick up a GS650GXL in the 2 tone blue scheme, but I also really like the look below and would like to mock up a part in both schemes to make up my mind.

I didn't check to see if you had gotten your mega-welcome from Basscliff yet but in the meantime, go here

http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

look up your bike and click on frame covers. It will give you the different colors available as part of the part number (last couple of digits). Also, your bike is an 81 GS 650 GLX versus GXL. The X is the year while the GL is the "cruiser" version.

Forgot to add, there's also a "color chart" link in there to look at.

Don't know if knowing the actual Suzuki paint names and codes will help much. When I was mixing paint I never was able to find a formula for any Suzuki motorcycle paint codes, but best of luck, and let us know how it turns out.
