Folks
I am presently tearing down a 77- could be 78 - GS1000c exported from the US. An early one with wire wheels. The tank panels and tailpiece are I think the wrong colour, and as such I would like to return them to original specification. A bit of search on the web yielded an original paint scheme I quite like - see attachment. I think the early GS1000c came with this light metallic blue and the satin black side panels.
As such, does anyone have a suitable paint code the painters or suppliers may use to change the colour to this ostensibly correct 77/78 metallic blue colour please?
Secondly, the tank and tailpiece are not original. They are not fluted - which is a shame as getting hold of one over here (Scotland) is pretty much impossible. Any ideas as to how I may replicate the origanal using the later tank fitted to mine. The Suzuki badge is much higher up the tank which does not help in lining up the correct decal set.
Many thanks
Mark
