    How do you like those mirrors???

    Beautiful bike!
    The prettiest paint I have seen on a GS!
    I have seen those mirrors for sale, thinking about getting a set.
    How well do they work?

      Thanks tkent but on the mirrors..one word of advice....don't.

      At least from fleEbay. I like the mirrors but they are mostly-plastic knockoffs. I've seen the real mirrors these are modeled from somewhere...Arlen Ness maybe?

              I think what I like best is the non-stock color scheme. I get tired of seeing the same old thing on certain models of bikes. This is a nice change.

                Thanks Angel. I got alot of my inspiration from another member who did his own rattlecan job in black with white stripes.

                Thanks beby. I have yet to see it outside on a bright sunny day but I think it'll look even better then.

                  Looks great! I just picked up a '78 GS750 myself... identical to your pre-work pictures. Looking to do some modifications also, but doing some research and questioning prior to spending any $. Just wondering, how do the new handlebars feel with the standard foot position? What is the rise and sweep? Thanks,

                      Looks great! Not only the color, but the Daytona-like striping.

                          Thanks! I've been trying to squeek in some neighborhood riding to rebreak her in, so to speak. So far I like the bars, but I don't have much time on them. Tarbash has the same bars, that's where I first saw them so he may give some feedback. I think a lot of guys have them since they're standard clubman bars off ebay. I like them in the little riding I've done but I'm only going to use this bike around town. Don't know how they'd be on a longer ride yet.

                          Thanks. You guys definitely inspired me. I've got a little ways to go yet to get her completed but I'm getting there. Too bad winter set in here in DC today.

                          I wish I could take all the credit.:-D I've got a short list to finalize before I get her on the road including some carb fine tuning and valve adjust. Hope to ride her a lot more in the Spring. We'll see how it goes eh?

                            I really love that color and stripes....niiiice...that caliper paint though IMHO needs to go...clashes with that beautiful paint job.

                              Is that color called "Black Cherry"? I really like that color that changes from black to red, and the stipes are great.

                                Dan-O: Howdy and Love you too. Doing good, feeling good.

                                Me: Give 'em hell, Little Bro!

                                Dan-O: Roger that! :)
