    1982 gs850L cosmetic refresh

    Decided I would document the steps of the cosmetic refresh I am undertaking for my 850L, which will include side cover repairs, new paint (tank & side covers), seat recovering, and maybe some chrome polishing if I'm feeling like dressing up the pig.
    Couldn't figure out how to post without the images being GIANT, so here is a link to the imgur collection with descriptions: https://imgur.com/a/jEYM4

    Thankfully, the other side cover is in much better shape so I wont have to fabricate an entire missing piece from it. Just two small cracks to fill in, and 1 attachment stud to replace. Will pick up next time after both side covers have been painted. Because of drying time and sanding between coats (2 primer, 3 paint), will probably be a week or so til the next update.
