Project:Old Yeller on the road

[Hakamisu]

SVSooke,

Great looking bike.

Just got an 82' GS850 and started a teardown. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=208234

I'm up in Comox, if you're ever riding this way.

I will hopefully have mine on the road next summer and will take a few weeks off to do an island tour, do you know if there's a group that does that around here annually?

[SVSooke]

While sanding this happenedLost the bits to.I happen to have an old side cover that's just the right curve

Doing a Google images GS750 search I came across this:

Even in this bad pic that looks pretty tasty.Close to the 86 stock scheme but I'm pretty sure those ain't Suzi colours.

Looks a bit like my 1150.

Got a pic Mike?Kind of looked for one but didn't see any.
Anyway on with the fairing fix:

Started with this.

Opened it up to get a better place to put the patch.

And the patch,not really tight so the ABS slurry can do it's magic.

The patch slurried in,now wait a couple of days to be sure it's dried out.Then I can sand it to fit better.

Not the best pics to scope the scheme, but there are a couple in my album here.

Thanks Mike,didn't think to look there Not going to follow the exact scheme in that pic anyway.Using it as a jumping off point.Looking at your 1150 tells me I'm on the right track.

I've always really liked it. The blue for the 1150 is really nice too, but I think this looks relatively fresh, even today.

Got the pieces all primered,sanded and primer sealedThe primer sealer ran out on the last peice. Hoping the weekend will be a good one for painting

First colour on

[SVSooke]

Well she ain't Yeller anymore. Danm I liked that name But I really think this will look SO nice when it's cleared.Yeah I ran out of red,knew I should have got another can

I really like that scheme Greg! I agree it should look awesome with some clear on it...

[SVSooke]

Thanks Pete,I'm really liking how it's going to.

Especially after I got a few more coats of red on it as a bit splotchy before.Now it looks REAL nice
