Cooo-oool! I think Rob (azr) posted that earlier this year, and I liked it then. What a wonder some paint and detail work can do. Nice job.

Good eye. They were both weeping slightly, the left more than the right, but seem to have stopped since my longish ride. Maybe they're like Ohlins, they start to cry if sat stationary too long.

Snuck out my Project GS for a quick ride today...
... the muffler must have thought that the ride wasn't quick enough since it departed ship along the way!
Luckily, it didn't sustain much damage on its solo trip down the street... just a few scrapes and some minor road-rash on the ends. It's back on the bike now (for how long?!?) but I have to admit, it sounded REALLY GOOD running just the straight pipe on it. Maybe the fiberglass packing needs to mysteriously disappear at some point. :encouragement:

Thanks Rob, I really dig it too! I'm hoping to have it legally on the road soon... er, the above photos were of a professional rider on a closed course, by the way. Yeah, that's the ticket!
The Fourteen is leaving on Thursday so the GS should be ready for a real ride on Friday. :encouragement: Not sure about the muffler however...
Red decal on tank doesn't blend with blue on side covers. Looking too HRC. Can you get the tank decal in blue accents?

IMO I preferred it before the red decal

I agree with the black labels on the tank and mounted straighter too. Might I also suggest black engine case, cylinder and head?

the red helps.
I wonder if it would look better with three red stripes or a red then a black and then another red stripe.
i dont see any other blue on the bike other than the ratchet strap holding it down.
phones and good images require tons of light. like outdoor light.
you may be able to get it to take better pics with a tripod holding the camera still.
the pics that i take outside with my phones (iphone 5 and a samsung galaxy s4) come out great.
all the ones indoor are grainy or blurry cause there isnt enough light.
