Got my GS 750's

If you loved me you would not ask me to paint it that color. Need I remind you

I think that it should be known that until I met and married my husband I never even thought seriously about riding a motor cycle never mind own one. Now regarding his comment about me learning how to paint and painting it purple, well I always thought that if you loved someone that you would be willing to do anything for them. I guess that went by the board years ago, to bad though I think that it was a good thing!

Learn to paint and you can have whatever you want my dear!

Hahaha! Great answer.

I can see that the thing with purple being a bad color is just a guy thing, just goes to show that some men have to taste when it comes to colors!

Yes I do agree the the red with the red leathers would be over kill for sure. Now he has mentioned that he is not sure that I do have taste, because I would like them both with purple accents! My favorite color is purple which I only wear. However I must ad that I wanted my motor cycle painted purple but he won't do it, says that would be to much purple. So I have to go with the champagne color with the purple accents. In all honestly I can't understand what is wrong with purple in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about that,she wanted them both purple

Oh, good point.

Well, blind pigs and all ...*

Sweet build. Enjoyed reading so far.

I agree, the champagne will look really nice, especially with the red accents you've put on. Sounds like your wife has some taste.

With your leathers, the red paint might've been a bit of overkill.

The fairing is all plastic.this kind of sanding is what power sanders are for.even then it's not that fast.

Oh my. Sanding. I only find it satisfying when it's the clear coat.. but you gotta do it. Is the whole fairing plastic?

Finished sanding the body work so I(mostly) stripped the 1000 layers of clear off the tank my buddy Aaron gave me.

Here's a before pic.

Found this and:

this small dents in it.The second ones covered by the seat,going to fill it anyway

This was covered with silicone.Think thPO tried to fix the first bit with it,it failed so then put more on.
I'm going to take care of the rust to.

Got the rest of the body work sanded.The upper fairing is 4 peices if you include the screen.Got a fair amount of hardware out of it,yes it's all painted.So is this:

Was going to just clean it but when I did the anodizing came off.So what did I do?

Got a start on the sanding:

Have to get that PO black off.Using 60 grit,I'm not meesing around.Not to worried about leaving the original paint.Right side lower doesn't have much left anyway.
