    81 gs250t

    Yep,waiting to hear back. This may be a flip bike and would be the smallest one I?ve done. I?ve done several Seca 750s and GS 1100s in the past year. The most I paid in like condition to this 250 was 600. Should get more info in a little while.

    GS 1000 Repaint

    My local paint store will put any color you want in a spray can. I just did my 82 Seca 750 tank,side covers,front fender and rear tailpiece which took 3 cans plus two clear. Came out very nice. Sprayed in my shop with the doors open.
