suzuki gs 1000 striping

[Guest]

Hey,

I'm going to restore a black suzuki gs 1000. But there are two different types of striping. One wit the striping on the bottom of the tank under the buddy and on the spoiler. And one without.

European/ american differences? I don't know[PHP]100_2997.jpg[/PHP]

OK, gonna have to ask for some more details here. "GS1000" is good to know, but what year, what model? The stripe colors and locations changed from year to year, and were different again on the 1000G shafty.

We also need to know what part of this big blue marble you call "home". I have not Googled "weert" to see where it is.

EDIT: OK, I see that Weert is in the Netherlands.

Dungen,

It's a bit difficult for us Yanks to answer, because the one posted by Peter is a standard (wire wheel) model that is painted black + white with the standard model striping.

Over here, the standards came in dark blue and burgundy with corresponding big stripes plus those gold stripes
The E model (cast wheels, step seat, 2 front discs) came in black with the big stripe white (thus, the Skunk) and gold and red pin striping

I don't know the European colors except the light blue for the UK

I don't know how I missed the picture in your 1st post. That is the correct striping for the E model that you have, same as the US version.
