I think the originals were black, at least they were on my '79. Ray"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" -Yogi Berra

I like the term " Rolling Restoration" he uses in his description. I will most likely be doing similar with mine.

Heres mine which is a factory unmolested example..complete with all 33 yeras of scratches and dents. Thing is Suzuki superceeded lots of parts and they changed the finishes. For example, the mirror shock mounts for the 78 1000E were originally chrome. They are still available under a superceeded number and now they come in black instead of chrome.

Truth be told, you would most likely be better off with the black nylon screws the aftermarket wind screen people sell. You can snug them up without over tightening, and they don't come loose.http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...ine=1440711157'78 GS1000E, Dyna-S ignition, Dyna Green Coils, K&N pods, Delkevic SS 4-1 exhaust, Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit, Russell SS Brake Lines, Progressive suspension, Compu-Fire series Regulator 55402 and Advmonster cree LED headlight conversion.

A very tiny bit of Gorilla Superglue dabbed in the inside back of the molding with a wire, at the ends and every few inches along the channel. The hardest part is getting someone to hold it so the edges are up so you can do it without getting any on the sides. Works great and will come off later if you don't use too much.http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...ine=1440711157'78 GS1000E, Dyna-S ignition, Dyna Green Coils, K&N pods, Delkevic SS 4-1 exhaust, Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit, Russell SS Brake Lines, Progressive suspension, Compu-Fire series Regulator 55402 and Advmonster cree LED headlight conversion.

The mystery of the screws has been resolved with the early GS1000S ride report story in the Discussion threads. They look to be black, as were the ones on mine when I got it.1979 GS1000S,
