Briggs,
That is truly a labor of love. great looking bike. very nice work. Clear taillight and turn signals would complete the monochromatic look very nicely too...But great job!

I'd have given you an arm and a leg for the white stuff

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the '89 tank: "Srinath's been looking for one of those for 2-3 years now."

'Course, I remember you weren't wlling to pay the "arm and a leg" that the wrecker in CA was charging.  Maybe they wanted a BIGGER arm and a BIGGER leg than what you're talking about?   :lol:

OK OK its damn near impossible to get anything past you kerry... ever thought of a career in law enforcement... more like unsolved murder investigation... BUT You did miss one little point... Last year about this time I paid a very reasonable price... dammit it was cheap... for a perfect white tank from Greg G. Yes traded a dented tank for his race bike. Now I have this habit of collecting spares and especially ones that let me be lazy. So I already have a white full body set, but I cannot let that pack rat in me sleep, so Have 1 GS that's blue, have a blue spare tank, and have backup body work in white and want a white everything as spare...
Eventually my bike has to be white, the blue is simply for now eye candy... yes I love it, but deep down I know it has to be white. The frame will get black powder coat and so will the wheels and I'll put white on it, but anyway I digress, I aint buying stuff from a wrecker ... for the same price someone here is going to get my money - no contest.
Cool.
Srinath.

but you did it the way you like

Wow what a responce! I want to say thanks for all the praze and suggestions on my bike. I have to say I was truly inspired by alot of you forum regulars. I never would of dreamed of doing the rear rim swap. Esspecilly with out all of the pioneers out there that took the time to document the procedure. (Pablo, Joris) I think my bike is now finally ment for the wall of fame. If anyone has any questions about what I did, feel free to fire away!
