EC Paint.

[MaurieG]

Anyone out there with a Black 1978 GS750EC (triple disc, cast wheels) with original paint/decals? I'm having my paintwork re-done, and as there's so many versions of decal fitment, I'd like to see what actually came out of the factory! Can anyone post some pictures? Cheers guys!

I have such a bike but I got it 3rd or 4th hand, so I can't promise it's stock. But it looks like it's been "rode hard and put away wet" as Grandpa would have said it, so I don't think it's ever been gifted with new paint. Here's a low res picture of it. (Pay no attention to the grease splotch above the seat.)



If you think it'd be helpful, I'll get some more & better photos and post them for you.

Would his UK decals be different?

Would his UK decals be different?

Very slightly, but not enough to worry about! Thank you very much guys, for your input!

Here's one more shot of my '78. I forgot to the get the SUZUKI on the back of the rear cowl.

Ok guys. Thanks very much for the 'photo's! Tank/tail now at painters.

[MaurieG]

My painter's just sent these 'photo's of tank/tail combo. Very pleased with them! Thanks to all who posted/emailed me 'photo's of their paintwork. Much appreciated!011.jpg

Your paint guy does nice work!

[MaurieG]

Thank you! I'll pass that on to him!

[dorkburger]

Agreed. Looks great.

Were the stripes painted on, or are they taped?
