    1980 gsx750

    While waiting on my decal kit to arrive for my gs1000st. I thought i might as well do up the gsx for my wife to ride to work.
    She has a ducati supersport that she rides sun or rain but is so hard to keep it looking clean.
    It was going to be a quick respray in flat black and a clean.
    This is what we started with

    My wife saw a new green ford fiesta and liked the colour so instead of flat black it is squeeze green.
    So now with the new colour it has to be polished up as well (so much for keeping it basic )
    When we started to do it up at christmas a bloke in Melbourne was selling his project in peices on ebay.
    The seat, grab rail and cowling all come from him, all for $35
    I am waiting on new carbie boots and side emblems to come to finnish.

      Very nice project!
      How did you get it up onto that table?
      I could easily build such a table ... but am not able to pick up a bike and place it onto a table.

        Not a big fan of green on a bike, but I have to be honest that looks really good!!

            Finished the bike today. the carby problem ended up being timing instead.
            The revs would would hang for abit then drop.
            I dont know how many times i cleaned the carbs and checked all the rubbers.





            Now its back to the GS
