    I sounds like before we settle on the final scheme we we could benefit from the services of a photoshop guru. That definitely am not me.

      While it is defiantly NOT a GK I still think my 85 750 looked pretty nice completely yellow.That being said the GK has even more area to be yellow

        Wow, the above red stripes are nice... Would that go with the brown seat? Don, I was thinking the same thing about photoshop.

          I don't know if it would be of use, but I can donate a turn signal cancel unit from my 79 850.....

            Yeah it needed something and the red seemed to do it.Does anything go with a brown seat?

              The wheels certainly do add a lot to the overall look of that bike.

                  Nice offer, but the '79 TSCU was not compatible with anything after '79.

                    Yes.

                    Good. That goes along with the idea of keeping it fairly stock form/appearance.
                    (which I personally think it should if representing the forum.)

                    I have a stock black GK seat, where the vynal and the insides are very good, but the pan is rusted (in front where the mounting is). I could contribute that.
                    If that is decided, I can look into what it takes to swap it out (or maybe someone else already knows).

                      That is something I've been wanting to learn how to do. If you could post up a good side shot view something like Gregs I'll see what I can find out...........

                          Speaking of which:
                          If a person has some service or parts to offer/contribute, should they contact Don pepe or Frank administrator, or should they post here or post elsewhere....?

                          Should people somewhere offer what they think they can offer..... or will someone list what is needed....?

                          Or maybe the project has not progressed to that point yet. (or maybe there is another thread somewhere.)

                          One possibility might be to have someplace, somewhat private, that folks can offer whatever services or parts they can contribute, say email or PM, and then whoever is working/organizing/determining the progress of the project can contact them as the need arises.

                            I have some photo-manipulation skills (Paint.net, not photoshop).
                            Seems that changing the color from dark brown/ light brown 2 tone to a solid yellow, and have some sense of the contours, would be way above my rudimentary skill level.

                            I would be doing good to draw in some crude striping that somewhat follow a stock scheme.
                            har har har get the bike painted the base yellow. then put it all together. then take photo. then can draw in various options for striping har har har


                            Speaking of which: I could contribute photos of stock 82 striping.

                              Does the K denote the luggage and fairing package ?

                                No expert but I'm pretty sure it is.
