I hit it with the blinker...The back tire was low and I lost control...
There may be some crabgrass in my yard too...:-D

And, no matter how hard I look at the picture, I can't spot Wally.

Just now catching up with this thread. Love this bike. Will certainly have to have a closer look the next time I see it in person.

Beautiful bike! It brings back fond memories of my own blue (previously burgundy with orange stripe) '78 GS1000. Here is a scanned photo of mine, circa 1983 (GS1100E front and rear suspension)

Very nice. The wheels really set it off. :-D

 

[Billyboy]

Thanks, Billy. That's the best complement I've received about the bike. :-D

You're welcome pal!

As many of you know, my bike is a Skunk, not an "S". I really like the lines of the 78 and didn't want to do an outright copy an "S".
I wanted to build something that didn't exist. One of one so to speak. So my whole dilemma has been: What would a GS1000S look like if Suzuki had made one in 78, instead of 79?
The body lines are different. How would the stripes flow?

I really like how they did the Australian bikes because the stripes flow with the tank. Here's an example: The Sharpy bike.

So, I decided to build on that idea and come up with something that looked factory and would work with the lines on the tank.

I think it just might work. Btw, I gave up waiting on the painter and did it myself.

Looks Great! Nice work.

I just knew your bike needed that fairing. The way you matched the paint scheme on fairing to the stripes on the tank look great. Congrats on a job well done.
