You want to see someone who grinds smooth and paints his wheels on his collection of 9 or 10 bikes look up windy urtnowski channel on you tube. You'll be amazed

Post # 7 said something kind'f got my attention. His black wheels "contrast" so nice with the other black pieces... I'd have thought the opposite, black wheels would match, conform, resemble, or blend in with the other black pieces.... No doubt black wheels are the in thing now days.

been a fan of Larry his Cooley for a long time.

In one of the articles or maybe forum posts he said something like don't use the same black on all parts,
it will look like the bike was dropped in a barrel of black paint.
Use different black like glossy and matt so even the black parts will contrast.
Think that's what he may have meant in post 7.

disclaimer .. can't speak for Larry, long time ago, my memory not what it used to be, etc etc

[nvr2old]

Yeah, that's what I meant with my previous post. Blacks can indeed contrast with different textures and level of gloss. My bike has gloss engine covers and valve cover, semi-gloss head, flat black cylinders, and a flat black Yosh pipe. It gives it dimension and a level of detail I really like. I also mentioned it in the Cycle World feature, on BikeEXIF, and Pipeburn. That was a while ago, Rijko..

I understand completely, just took it wrong.

[Suzukian]

They cam out really nice. Taste is subjective. I might have gone a different way, but this is your bike, and you did it the way you wanted. It looks fantastic!

I plan to have the Valve cover on my '83 GS750ES done in a slightly different shade of Blue with a crinkle finish, like Ferrari does. My son wants to pay for it, so I purchased a valve cover off of EBAY for $14 bucks, with free shipping, all the other covers were $75 dollars. I could not believe how good the condition of it was when it came in last week. I'm polishing the cases with Jewelers Rouge, and they look like Chrome. The cover will be done over the Summer. Powder Coating has come a long way.

Been looking over your recent pics of the 11EZ because...I like to. Looks great. But...

What are you hiding on the left side?

In getting my 82 ready for the season I had a couple of sticky float bowls....I was going to strip the carbs but decided to try some seafoam and it did the trick....that saved a day's work

[rphillips]

Congrats, don't you love them easy fixes. I'm always thinking easiest cheeepest first. If that don't work go farther. It's amazed me, since I've joined the GSR yrs. ago, how many seem to recommend a complete teardown and rebuild for any carb problem.

Lol....yep, look for the easy fix first

Because most of them have been sitting for a decade or more. Seafoam and other miracle cures will do sweet fa for that.
I love miracles in cans, but I know their limitations.

[Big Block]

Yours is the only 1100e I've seen with a lift handle on the right side Trevor.

[Rijko]

She's a beauty, Trevor.

But you planted this seed ... you gonna surprise us with that S fairing ?

[rphillips]

Heck, I never can tell if the miracle in a can is gon'na work till I put some in and see what happens... Sure nice when it does work, when it don't, like said, go farther.
