Frame degreased and washed. Have not decided on whether to send out for sandblasting and powder coat or sand it down partially and repaint myself.
I have some aircraft stripper standing by as well.
Any suggestions? Best bang for buck?

Again ... Costs a bit more but sand blasting and powder coating (mat black) is the way to go. I've done three GS models this way and I am very pleased with the results. The finish is very even, completely clean and durable. I've cleaned and painted a few but prefer the powder coating route.

Probably didn't matter but I failed to mention it said New Old Stock, with orig. package and the Suzuki part # sticker still attached.l

Scrapped the video because the idle setting causes a stall after warm up and the hanging throttle has come back. Arggghhh.
