    Congrats on the bike Andy. Looks like you got a nice one. I was actually thinking about painting my 1100G that color. Guess I'll have to find another color

    Comment


      Just finished doing a makeover on my GS 1100 G.
      This is what it looked like before it got pulled down.

      This is the finished result.

      Had an original set of decals made at Motographics in Sydney. Painted it myself in 2pac.

      Set myself a deadline to get it all done, from initial strip down to completely finished was 13 weeks.
      I'm very happy with the finished result

        Nice one David, she looks great! Love the colour.

        Very glad to see that fairing put to good use too! Did you get a new screen made for it or was that one ok?

          Hi Pete,

          It the original one, it has a few small marks in it but it looks OK, at some stage I will try to find a new one or get a replacement made.

              David, your bike looks great.
              The 13 week turn around is equally impressive.
              Is that ceramic-coating on the headers?

                  She looks great David!!
                  And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
                  Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

                      Hi Steve,

                      Thanks for your comments, in answer to your question "Is that ceramic-coating on the headers?" yes it is, on the last bike I done up, I had the header pipes sand blasted and painted with VHT high temp paint. But on this one I thought I would try the ceramic coating, they look really good and shouldn't show any signs of heat effect. The muffler is chrome, it has a really nice note which is not too loud. Not sure what brand it is, it has Woolfs stamped into the muffler (which I have never heard of if it's a brand name)- some people think it may even be home made.

                        David, not sure how much you could see properly of the ceramic coating of mine in the basement at work, but you're right, you won't see any header discolouration like you do with chrome. I really like the finish and am very glad I had it done on mine.

                          Very nice build Highside!

                          +1 on adding the grab bar.

                          "Woolf's" is a small custom exhaust manufacturer in New Zealand. But I wouldn't be surprised if like everything else here it is Oz owned lol
