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.

Pic from a bought in boxes build. It's runnning well, so now I can focus on the bling and the fine tuning as soon as I can decide on a paint scheme. For now red will always work! 2004-01-01_02-25-41.jpg
 
Nice!
Bandit front end?
I think making the indents white would be a good look
 
Thanks guys, it's still a work in progress. I've got a 1100 tank on it now, but I'm going back to the E tank.
It's a Honda CBR front end and wheels. Saved 50 poinds between the wheels and tires over stock.
I'm still struggling with the paint scheme. A lot of people have done the white on red, I want something more original. I've got a great idea I like I'm going to paint up when spring paingint season comes.
 
Joe, You know a lot more about computers than me, but a lady I us'ta work with had something on her computer where she could put a picture of your car or bike on her computer then paint it in whatever color or scheme you thought you wanted, you could see what it was go'na to look like, and adjust colors and scheme till you saw exactly what you wanted...

Or maybe a copper...

I'm a real man so not opposed to the pink in principle, but I do like the copper better ! lol I want a 2 stage with a silver metalic under the top color. It's the stripes scheme I'm struggling with. I want something that hints of an original idea, but is more modern at the same time. Although the stripping in the traditional looks good on the copper version!
 
I think Posplayr did something similar with his paint... I remember it being a 2 stage metallic at least. Not sure if his build is still on here. It was an 1100E though.

I think Renobruce had a silver metallic in with his black on a skunk... it made it look somewhat purple in strong sunlight at the right angle though. :)

Suzukis 1985 / 1986 colors were beautiful. Pearl red on pearl white or candy alpine blue on pearl white.
A bit off topic, but I'd love to see someone do a 1000s in the 1985 blue / white combo.
 
My wife and I had a pair of GS's, her's an "85" GS550E and my "85" GS1150E. Both were Pearl Cool White and Candy Alpine Blue... For me, that paint was virtually the best thing about both of those bikes... Really beautiful... OOhhh, An "S", in those colors would beautiful, though not an "S".
 
I would like to use new Suzuki colors so I'll look in to those years. I've been looking for a blue. I've got an idea for a blue and white and yellow, which was an mid 2000 theme. I also want to paint onr red, white and blue.
