1983_GS750E - Rebuild

I was thinking of that too but I wonder how it stands up to a bit of heat?

The heat just cures the Plastidip. It becomes harder to remove after heating but it holds up. From their website:

It has been tested and proven in temperatures from -30°F to 200°F.

Can't wait GK! The decals were fine the way they were, but I'm glad they're redoing them for you... should be awesome

[GateKeeper]

Thanks pete....
yes they were OK, but a bit too big, and the guy at RDdecals, took it upon himself to make it right...

Looking good ! What are those blue lights all about ?

[GateKeeper]

Thanks

blue if you wish, but they turn white as well, 3 position switch, blue/white/off a set of driving lights if you will....better night time visibility, but can't hurt during the day as well...

based on the size of the housing, I might not keep them on the bike, just a touch too bike, or I have to find a different way of mounting them, make them less noticeable..

[bccap]

What I want is a couple of big air horns mounted somewhere around there. These damned drivers and their cell phones are driving me nuts ! Those 4 fender bolts are the primary reason I'm getting some ratchet wrenches the next time CT has them on sale.

[pete]

Yeah bring it on GK, she's looking great! Tins are sweet, and those little black pinstripes and details are spot on

Can't wait to see her all complete and in the sun!
