    Gold GS badges?

    I've got a '79 GS550 and a '78 GS750 .. both were Australian delivered and have silver "GS" sidepanel badges. All the NOS ones I see are gold .. and I'm wondering what models/markets used gold badging?

    I have a 79 GS 1000 L, it had Gold badges. Oh yea forgot to tell you, I got mine brand new from the dealership, not too awfully expensive either.

          My 1980 GS750L had the gold badges. Sold in the American market.

            Silver ..

            Looks like the L models usually had gold badges, but not the normal models?

            .. I'm wondering why gold side panel badges when the Suzuki tank badge seems to be always silver?

              The gold is thin and wears off over the years.
