pics of military/mad max/dirt "inspired" UJM's

[donimo]

Hi all, I may not end up doing this (time will tell), but I may buy another GS for my "pretty" bike and use this one as my "have fun with it's looks" bike.

I have always liked on/off road stuff, I own a subaru, love rally racing etc. I tend to lean more to a street machine set up to handle some dirt than vice versa, hense I don't ride a dual sport.

I was thinking a military type colour palette, or flat black, and some road tending dual sport tires like the avon distanzias, motocross handlebars and a general chop to some of the fender stuff.

I am having a hard time finding any pics to help my brain plan out what I want, anybody have some pix? I don't want the ACTUAL military bikes from ww2 and stuff, I want a more modern/hollywood/anime etc style to it, more "cool" than authentic

I would be doing this at the earliest next winter, and I may change my mind and do a full restore on this bike, depends on how well it goes fixing it up this summer.

just killin time instead of brain cells is all

Or a Sahara look

Less the side car obviously...

that first one is a bit too "authentic" for me, 2nd is way too dirt-bike, but I think I may be asking for pix that don't exist.

I wish I was a better artist, cause I have an idea of what I want, but no way to put it on paper...

I kinda like the ducati up there, just wanted a bit rougher than slick.

I was hoping this was a project I could do myself, as "rough army dirt/street bike" is a look that doesn't require a professional painter ha ha

Well, this isn't exactly what you may be looking for, but I promise it will not fail to inspire!!

Go to Wal-Mart buy some Camo System Krylon Spray paint. Go to town problem solved

That KLR above used to be mine that's what I did.

There is a GS 'Super-Motard' on this forum. I can't remember who did it but it was about a year ago IIRC.

Found it, it was Witttom - http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...ight=dirt+bike

I had seen that, but don't judge me, I am going for 90% looks with the bike, 10% off-road "ability".

I will never do more than logging roads, but I wanted to possibly try something, I think, would look cool.

I like that triumph and the yammy in that thread though, ha gotta respect that.
