    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It seems Suzuki had a whimsical approach to paint design int he 80s

Do any of you have the fully faired version of this bike? If so can you put up some pics so I can see a complete and period authentic paint scheme.

So much wet sanding to do. Who would paint a bike purple?

shame the full fairing versions are hella rare..

actually looks pretty cool with the full front, otherwise you pretty much have to streetfighter it.

ive found a few of the side panels on ebay over the last year but nothing under $150 per side and its only ever 1 side ata time.and would have to take off the 4-1 and go back to stock 4-2 plus you need the bracket and half fairing from the es model so if i had an extra $1000 for rare plastic sure i could make mine look like that....

/ok jealous rant off
 
Sweet paint links thanks guys.
The red and black is very nice indeed. The striping looks hard to reproduce though.
