    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.

What do you think of this paint sceme? How would you do it differently?

Not sure about the paint job but, I would add a half fender to the front and a fender from the swing-arm to the tail myself.

Not sold on the gold but not sure what accent would be unique. I've always though red looks good with these bikes, especially ones that keep a lot of chrome/polished aluminum.
 
Everything is done except paint, Brake lines, and 530 conversion. Im open to ideas on color and layout......hitting a creative block at the moment.
 
What about a silver base coat with a color stripe running down the middle? Classic Cafe Racer scheme.

Maybe you could pick up the blue on your brake fluid cap and work that into the bike. Either as a accent or a base coat. Color can be good, no reason to stick to a black scheme.

A blue and white scheme would be really cool. Sorta a nod to Suzuki's classic racing colors.

Your bike has a lot going on for it already, with the sprocket cover and the rear sets, a simpler scheme would be perfect.

I also think adding a tiny front fender would be really nice. Tie the bike (and forks) together better.
 
Oh gawd how do you people ride on those lol....my joints are screaming just looking at it!:eek:
 
lookin good. i need to know what those rims are off of? i neeeeeed some on my bike and if anyone can tell me what will fit my 78' gs750e.

Drimodium,
I like everything about your project. The sprocket cover is a one-of-a-kind but what really blew me away was the "stealth" chain.

Great job man! Way to turn lemons into lemonade. I love everything BUT the rear sets. Position is too high for me.puts all the weight on the arms and shoulders. Suck very much badly on a long ride. But if its comfortable to you. . .ride it like you stole it!!! Can't wait to see the final outcome!
