My first GS (Gorilla) (Patricks legacy)

[PatheticPuma]

I think my dad has one. I am seeing him this weekend to get some riding in and also to get some ideas going for coloring one set of parts blue and another yellow. Question that maybe you konw the answer too. The vehicle was registered as blue in color. If i change it to another color can i be pulled over and cited/ticketed?

Not sure about your state, but in michigan they can give you a ticket. There is no fine or penalty involved, as long as you simply go to the DMV and pay for a new registration/ticket with a time period, like 10 days. Then take the new registration and ticket to be verified by any officer.

The coloring on the title in Washington State is not strict at all from my experience, and I have owned two motorcycles. Don't worry about that. When you visit your pops ask about a spray gun, it will make painting much easier and better quality.

No big deal on the color. When time to re-register then change the color. They're used to bikes changing color. The VIN is what matters. If you paint the frame, the VIN must remain visible.
Bikes change color all the time.
Have photos so if stolen, you can show what it looks like today.

I rode bike with changed frame. registration was on older frame a 96. engine however was a 97 cause it was silver.  so i could have caught hell for this. i did once. told them i had swapped parts over while frame was being repaired. they told me the truth was quite pleasant about it, saying its a registration violation. be careful. colourwise dont worry too much. Just say decided to change color. VIN is the key here.

oh nothing like that. Literally just gas tank and fairings. I willk eep that in mind though. I might hit up DOL and let them know.

Wow really? I never knew that.



Gorilla welcome man, I am new here myself but this is such a great community its hard to not want to hang around! Lots of good members and I also bumped into Adidasguy almost immediately on these forums, great guy.

Keep the thread alive with the progress. It seems these threads with picture updates are always well received.

Here there is a color, but no one inspects that. You can title a bare frame with no wheelas or motor.

Motors for bikes are not on the registration.
Mileage for most bikes is exempt.
Frame VIN is on the title. as is color, but as I said color doesn't matter much. When you buy new tabs, you can indicate a color change if you want to.
Title has color. Your yearly registration does not have color! I just looked at some of mine. It has make & model, no color.

I should mention that my info may not be accurate for bikes. I know it is for cars, but looking at the titles for both of the bikes here, the "color" fields are blank.

more pics to add as progress changes.

So started to want to modify the bike after i have had it a few months now. By modify i mean aesthetically not much changed except handle bars. Here is what we have started.

took the bike apart with Patricks help.


Creating a homemade paint booth.
