    GS750 body kit

    Having a look at this on ebay, what do you people think ?. My thoughts are the stripes on the tail unit are to low.
    Pardon our interruption...

      gs750 body kit

      The reason i posted the link was for the question. Are the decal stripes on the tail unit on the right place ?. I am in the process of a pant refurb of my 77 750 and want to get it correct .

            Paint and decals were laid by John Harrow..head painter at Classic And Exoctic in Troy Mi. They do really old cars such as Deusenbergs and old Packards etc etc.

            They are associated with Cranbrook Institute and their work is world famous. If anyone interested in a guy thats an equal to our very own Larry Pearson ( Nvr2old ), then i strongly recommend John. If I ever need anything done and Larry isnt available,,,my moneys going to John.

            Heres a link......second link is to some of his magazine featured articles

              Thanks chuck, yours looks correct about 5/8 inch from base of tail to start of decal. I still think the red kit Paul Miller is selling looks wrong, to low?.

                want me to go measure? I think these ones are really close. Might just be the cameras angle making them look a bit low. I wouldnt have any quams about them myself.

                  I bet the guy at Suzuki back then just slapped them on however he saw fit. It would be interesting to measure a bunch of them.

                    I have seen a documentary and it was women fitting decals free hand, so there may not be two the same. Chuck if you could measure yours that would be great.

                      Yeah, I've noticed a big difference in the fore/aft placement of the decal on the sidecovers of the '82 and '83 GS1100E models.

                      I imagine the spec on those tail stripes was something like, "place them on either side of the tailpiece at approximately the same height as the stripes above the bottom of the fuel tank".

                        Get any dozen 78 GS 1000s side by side and youll have as many different lines between the seat trims and rear cowls as well..not very much consistancy.

                          That is real nice set of tins. I really don't think that the price is way out of whack if you are doing your 750 up right.
