          If it doesn't have to be two-tone, jet black also looks extremely sharp on the '82E (might not have the same effect on the '83E, with it's blacked out engine & cases). A search should bring up pics of Claude's (Solosuzuki's) beautiful bike.

            I know claude's bike all too well.... droool. I like the black too...


            Honestly, I have several sets of body work at the moment and want to do something different. My red will stay stock.

            Obviously with the shape of the tank, naturally the two tone paint job seems to look like the 750's, ES's / isleomans bike.

            But what else....

            I was thinking two tone with a racing stripe down the top of the tank, maybe off center a bit.

            Maybe champagne for the body and orange (the suzuki logo orange) for the stripe.

            I'm gonna take some shots of my bike tonight and start mocking things up for feedback..
