Resurrecting a fallen Suzuki...

Lol... It looks good to me buddy! I still need to see it in the flesh though. If it ever warms up I will have to pop by.

Red decal on tank doesn't blend with blue on side covers. Looking too HRC. Can you get the tank decal in blue accents?

[Guest]

IMO I preferred it before the red decal

[Hayabuser]

It's a work in progress.... not sure how long it will stay like this!

[GSX1000E]

I agree with the black labels on the tank and mounted straighter too. Might I also suggest black engine case, cylinder and head?

+1 on black lettering, possibly with blue accents. I think it'd look sharper if it didn't bend across the tank indents as well, but that might come across differently up close.

I checked out some blue decals to replace the red... too spendy for my budget! I opted for a red stripe on the side panel to tie it all together.











Anyone know how to get an iPhone to take good pictures? Mine are always really crappy....

[Guest]

the red helps.

I wonder if it would look better with three red stripes or a red then a black and then another red stripe.

i dont see any other blue on the bike other than the ratchet strap holding it down.

phones and good images require tons of light. like outdoor light.

you may be able to get it to take better pics with a tripod holding the camera still.

the pics that i take outside with my phones (iphone 5 and a samsung galaxy s4) come out great.

all the ones indoor are grainy or blurry cause there isnt enough light.

I wanted a little blue on the bike so I can wear either my red jacket or blue one and not look unfashionable.

Plus, I was emulating the recent "Million Edition" GSX-R1000 but without that bike's baboon-ass face...

[Hayabuser]

Forgot to mention, it hints at this classic livery as well...

[Guest]

Lol

I see. :-)

[GS1150Pilot]

You need more blue to make that work. Needs more blue.

Should I say that in a Christopher Walken voice?

Rode Project GS onto the truck scale on the way home from Victoria yesterday, and with a half a tank of fuel it weighed in at 210 kgs (462 lbs). That's a decent savings over the stock dry weight of 243 kgs (535 lbs)... no wonder it feels fast compared to the '82 Katana 1100 I sold earlier this year!


I dig this "adding lightness" thing!

[Hayabuser]

Relocated the front indicators to the headlight mounts tonight... thought that my homemade headlight ears needed something to make them look less, well, homemade!







Shed another couple of milligrams by ditching the aluminum mounts that the indicators were mounted on! This thing is going to float soon!

[GSX1000E]

Where did you get the bands that go around the forks to attach the headlight ears to? Are they SS?
