    1980 gs1000g rebuild

    Finished painting a buddies bike this weekend. Took me a bit to warm up to this color he picked though. Its in between a copper and gold.











    MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
    1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

    Didn't take me long to warm up, I LIKE IT. Now thinking all the 1000G stripes were gold, I think, so OEM stripes won't work. Were there any other color stripes for the 850's? I can't picture any..., So custom stripes...UUmmm, let's think about that. Surely ya'll have something in mind??

      I like the color, too. Flashy, for sure. Are all those scratches on the Durango hood from putting metal gas tanks on it...?

          Kawa. had a color close to that, back in the 70's on one of their old 3 cyl. H2's... I can't picture or remember what color stripes it had though.

              It will all buff out.

                Bodywork looks great, Chuck. Like the gold.
                Blasphemy that it is Honda Gold but the '72 CB350 colour combo has been a favourite of mine.
