Very nice! Looks exactly like mine. I worked with Brian to make that decal set. He's a great guy, and lives about 3 minutes from my house.

What red did you use for paint? Mine is Dodge truck red. Colour has been around forever.

Brian was very helpfull when we were trying to track where the decals were (they got lost between Canada and Australia for a little while)
The painter took the Suzuki decal to a paint shop and they used a computer to colour match. I cant remember the name but i have it somewhere.
The painter said the decal kit and fitting measurments were very good and made his job alot easier.
You and Brian did a top job on the decals
Thanks

monza red off the ozzie fords came up as the best match to those stickers.

you and brian did a top job with those stickers,the measurements were easy and precise to work with.

ive had a blue and white "s" in the past and own a "g" now that needs minimal work to get her running again,but, theres a duke "88 750ss to complete first here!

This restoration is a credit to you!
 
Very very nice rebuild. In those decals where the colour next to the black striping red or orange. Couldnt tell Thanks. When you travel home my place is a stop over.

It seems that original S models have the headlight a little further back from the fairing opening, too. I know mine did. I made a couple of small extension brackets out of 3/4"x1/8" aluminum strap, drilled holes in both ends mounted in the factory holes, it pushed the headlight forward to fit the fairing flush. Looks like you have plenty of room to maybe do the same. Painted black, you hardly even see them. Nice bike. Looking forward to the finished pics.
 
The stripes are orange.
I have a photo of your bike in the shed as inspiration, and to tell everyone when they say a Wes what? What it will look like.

theres is a rubber strip (actually 2 parts upper and lower) that goes between the headlight rim and fairing i assume to allow for vibration
without this theres about 1/2 inch gap

you can kinda see it on this 80 model i have and see gap on the 79 where its missing

No rubber headlamp trim on either of the two S's I've owned. The parts fishe for US market bikes doesn't show anything either.:(

I spent a couple hours today fitting the fairing on my current S project bike. The upper fairing brackets are made of cheese and are easily bent. I wound up taking the fairing on and off at least a dozen times to tweak the upper brackets until I was happy with the fit. To bend the brackets I took a piece of 1/4" steel and drilled holes so it could bolt onto the brackets and bend them while keeping the two ears parallel. It's critical that the fairing is NOT putting stress on the IP cluster surround or it WILL crack. I've yet to see a cluster that wasn't cracked at least a little out near the windshield area so you really need to be careful here.
