    Suggestions please?

    As I might have mentioned (far too many times!!) I am doing up an old '87 GSXR750, now at the painting stage, but wont to do it right, any suggestions about paints/ colours/ decals etc.., Im thinking metalic gray and metalic red, maybe with a bit of gold trim to match brakes etc, perhaps the GSXR decals on front side fearings. want to do it well, as have spent many a marriage breaking hour in the garage tinkering. (any good sites with good pictures??)

    How about exactly the same design as stock, but done using modern metallic and candy paints. Once saw in an Ozzie mag a guy who'd done that to a black n silver 88 GSXR750J, looked very very nice, and still a GSXR.

    Did you get your clutch bleeding sorted out?

    /edit: A bike mechanic that worked for John Boote, Terry Reid, he used to have/look after(?) a Walter Wolf GSXR1100 which was red and gray metallic, that'd look horn.

    /edit2: We could photoshop some stuff up for ya

    I say again, Think outside the box!

    Paint it like a Ducati Tricolore!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
