    What's your favorite flavor?

    Had a chance to paint four different versions of the venerable GS1000 in the past few weeks..hard to pick a favorite, eh?..

















    All are ready to sand and polish..whew..thanks again for the support.

    Sexy. Especially the Cooley scheme. The Red is a close second.

              Hard not to love the Cooley. This was a complete re-do, side covers, fairing, seat trim, a CB1100F front fender, and a chin piece. Owner wanted one like mine. Very flattering.

                They're all awful.......

                But I don't dislike the red as much as I dislike the others.

                    I haven't..yet. I've talked about the possibility a couple of times, and would love to do one just to say I have. I really like the red and white. Even considered it for mine before I sprayed it..came reeeeaally close.

                      Put me down for #1! Was that a stock scheme?

                        Yes, but I'm not sure that it wasn't a Euro-only-thing. I know that originally it had a thin black stripe down the center of the white, but the owner didn't want that added.

                          I like the Red, but wonder how the Blue would look with the White stripe instead of the 2 tone Blue.

                            Good question. It sure would've been easier, for sure. Reproduction Decal had to make the blue stripes especially for this order. It took an extra week to do so, but they're really friendly about stuff like that. Through help/info garnered here, I was able to determine it was the same blue as on a later year GS pinstripe. I passed that along, and they made it happen.

                              AAaaah Larry, your work never ceases to impress

                              My vote is the Cooley, followed by the Skunk... gotta love a Cooley right?
