Hey all, I'm teamf4's wife....took over his 82 gs1100gk....at least for now

[teamf4]

Hey! our 82 gs1100gk had a small fire under the tank last summer, finally got it back from getting fixed. But since my hubby bought himself a new bike, I've been riding it.

Not sure if I want to keep it though. If I do I want to repaint and recover the seat.

What do you think of pink camo and a black seat? Or maybe do it a solid color.......but I don't want to be to plain you know.

Just getting some opinions if you all want to share.

Thanks!!

I think pink and black go particularly well together. However, if there is a good possibility you will be selling it soon, I would stay away from pink anything. I think it would be a deal breaker as far as reselling is concerned. Resale wise, black and silver/gray and maybe some red stripes or something. You're not going to find many guys that want to ride a camo pink bike. LOL

Well, if the camo worked well enough it wouldn't matter.

I dont know about that. Skip rides a pink bike and we hardly see him anymore since he bought it.

Scorched black not your color?

I agree, pink camo is cool, IF you decide to keep the bike.
It'd make it very hard to sell, though.
I'm biased, being a hot rodder as well as a biker, but to me you can't go wrong with black and hot rod red.

I'm definitely not one for custom paint on something I own though I love to see other's custom jobs. That said someone posted pics of their bike a while back, it had flames all over it, NOT my thing... but it was such a gorgeous job I would have bought it in a heartbeat! I think a lot of people felt the same. So what did he do? He returned it to stock! He did a meticulous job but I wanted to cry . Good luck whatever you decide.

LOL!! If we decide to keep it, we'd probably never get rid of it.

But true, you never know. So maybe pink camo wouldn't be the best idea. But it'd be neat, no one else I've seen has a pink camo bike yet.

My 450 is nice red. I like that, but I don't know if I want to go red again. mmm.....just don't know.

But I do know I don't want to ride around and a big brown bike!!

I put it in the other post... Keep it and paint it pink camo. That would rock out loud going down the street.
