New Paint Job

[tas850g]

Just finished assembling all newly painted parts to the bike. Had it painted by a buddy over the winter. Tank was in pretty bad shape under all the bondo.

Before Pictures




I tried to match the 1/8" pinstripes to the orange/red on the GS sidecover. It came out pretty good.


Added the Maier GP fairing. Took a lot of bending to align the fork brackets.





Now I can't wait for this rain to stop on Monday/Tuesday so i can take her out for a spin.

i just reorganized my photobucket and create 2 albums. Guess i need to figure that out.

[tas850g]

photobucket seems to be working for me. Once you click on the link go to the left of the screen and open either my suzuki or kawasaki album.

I realize what i did after posting these pictures then moved them around in my photobucket account, Sorry!

Wow man really nice job. Love the black with the red pinstripe.

[posplayr]

Nice work, the red pin strip on black is a real classsic look. The fairing goes well and will make riding alot more comfortable.

It looks like you have a real nice wet final finish and you did not color sand?

I wish i could paint like that but i cannot take the credit. A buddy back home did it for me. He tried to match up the color on the GS emblem sidecover. He thought it was an orange/red but it came out a little more red. It still looks good though.

He but a layer of clearcoat on it too. I have light swirls in the clear already by just handling and assembling.

I have a tank bag i take everywhere and I really don't want to put it on but i have to. It carries my tools and etc.

Put a thin soft cloth between the tank bag and the tank.

That turned out nice, it might not be a factory color strip but that what makes it "unique". Your buddy does nice work.
