    1978 gs750ec

    It's cold in Wisconsin and I am finally going to start the ground up restoration. Blast the frame for powder coating, new everything. Is it possible to get a replacement VIN sticker for the steering head? I'm also repainting the tank. Blast it and powder coat.

        Send Brian photos of your sticker, he'll recreate a perfect copy.

          That's timely for me, I need one too. I was looking at these on eBay for my 1100E. They look the part, price seems right but I do give a lot of credence to recommendations from GSR forum.

            I second Brian Dallner at bdesigns.

            He created perfect copies of not only VIN stickers but all manner of original stickers I've found on frames during restores for me. Takes the time to make sure his reproductions are flawless and cares enough to do it over... and over... and over until it is perfect.
            It's smoke that make electronic components work.
            Every time I've let the smoke out by mistake, they never work again.

              I used him to create my GS750EF fairing decals and he was prompt, professional and did a fabulous job. He will required some documentation to prove ownership and serial number.
