New-2-Me '80 GS750L

'tis true.... I have been thinking the same thing on the pinstripe if needed.
and after seeing them on the bike, that pretty much set it for me. Will be spraying the clear on them as is on Sunday.

So a few quick pics of little stuff I did while the paint cured...
Bother in law cracked the windshield on his bike and after I installed his new one, I scavenged some of the hardware from his old one to make the exhaust hanger.



Got the air box fitted and the new Uni filter on.






But before I did that I HAD to see how the tins looked in place

No black, clear it and leave it

I've been on the fence with the black,seeing them on the bike it's clear them.

[Hoosier Daddy]

WoW, awesome, that is looking stunning, I can't wait to see that pait job with the clear on it, it is really going to shine.
Nice work on that exhaust bracket, your attention to detail is top class.

[Erki]

Very nice. Confirmed on the no black now seeing it on the bike.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Well, it's a done deal now... Clear is on! Really makes the metalic in the blue sparkle, at least in the shop. After it dryed for an hour of so I opened the door and snapped this pic to show the reflection and how smooth it turned out.
The focus and reflection doesn't do the color justice but I will get a shot of the pieces outdoors next sunny day...

nice paint job!

[Guest]

I see what you mean about the focus, but I sure can see a GL in that reflection

Can't wait to see it out in the sun, I'm anticipating being highly impressed

Very arty, HD, very arty indeed.

I like what you've done.
Left field approaches are always a bit fo a gamble but I think you've pulled it off nicely.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Thanks folks your positive comments really mean a lot! We had an engaugement tonight that kept me away from the shop, but it rained ALL day anway. Maybe better pics tomorrow. With a real camera instead of a phone posing as one. LOL

[Hoosier Daddy]

Ok, last time I going to dwell on the paint but I am so happy with the way it turned out!
I got it out in the sun and here is the results.





Here is the reflection when not in the direct light.



And the metalics up close...
