That is one smooth looking machine. :clap:
Love the way the white wall sets off the custom rear end. Some pin striping would really make the front pop. and maybe consider filling in where the tank badges were for a cleaner look.

My paint is just rattle can and home made stencils but I did have pretty good luck filling in the badge spots with bondo and primer and even up close you can not see the seam. Just takes a few coats and lots of time sanding. Getting it down to metal and roughing up the area to get a good grip helsp too.
I say ride it and save that stuff for next winter.

Hey Charlie,
I've been looking around for pictures of the '83 650Gs,and every one I have found that hasn't had a replacement fender has that "E" style fender. I know GSJim in Toronto has owned one since new (also an 83) and it has that style. I'm still trying to determine 100% if that was the case everywhere, as I am trying to keep mine looking stock for "classic" purposes.
It looks as thought I may have been wrong. I just looked at Alpha sports parts catalog and the picture they use of an 1983 GS650g front fender matches yours and that of a 650e. Maybe they switched to one fender for both bikes in 1983? Thanks for pointing my possible short coming.

I thought I had a Suzuki brochure with a large 1983 GS650G picture, but the best I can find is a thumbnail sized picture from Suzuki that shows an E style front fender. I will try to scan it.
