That first pic shows some sun glare on the tank, the blue goes all the way back.

Baby Cooley? A Coolette, perhaps?
Is the RD yours as well? Pics of that one would be nice too.

Baby Cooley

Well, its a '77 GS750 painted to look like a '79 GS1000S so "Baby Cooley" seemed to fit. I was at a friends house and thats another persons RD400 in the background, with new paint as well!

Fresh Pictures

Here is the fairing. By the way, this was a rattle can job from primer to color. I used a high build primer/sealer, 400 grit sanding between coats, then Duplicolor "Bright White" and "Bahama Blue" (both truck, van, Suv colors from Pep Boys) then a high quality urethane clear with an HVLP paint gun on a friends driveway. The black stripes are 1/4 inch pinstripe tape. Hours of tedious taping resulted in a fairly decent job

More pics

Here is the tank. I had to make the middle u-turn early because of the filler cap cover. Again, this is a rattle can job! Dupli-Color "Bahama Blue" and "Bright White" with a high quality urethane clear from a gun.
