Title: White GS's?????
Post by: bombadillo on May 01, 2008, 11:10:02 PM
I have only seen two or three white gs's around here.  I searched the gallery and only found two.  I think I'm going to do a streetfighter with gold bars, bronze rims and white paint.  What do you think.  Would this clash too much with a silver frame or should I do anything with the frame.  I'm kinda in a debate about this one.  Can anyone find any pics or links of white gs500's???

hmmm ... sounds neat. Maybe gold + silver would be like wearing gold + silver accessories, which is a bit of a clash. What about chromed/matte silver bars?

Sounds awesome tho. Can't wait to see mockups/the final thing.  :)

i was wondering about this the other day. saw a fully white hayabusa, with a little chrome, and very little pinstriping. it looked REALLY fresh, clean, pleasing.

i don't think you can mix the silver/gold either, it's a thing the eyes just don't like.

White wasa stock color on the 89's. No other year had that color.
The navy and teal pinstripes really worked great with that white and with time it will age into a gorgeous golden hued white. Like the whitish gold on some 90's caddillac's but lighter.
Cool.

Yeah, I was wondering about the gold, because people with gold front ends from other bikes pull it off, but I was thinking if they had a silver frame or if it was repainted.  I can't just paint some of the high wear items so I may just get a silver bar instead.

Do white tank, plastics everything white, with gold/bronze bars, wheels, and frame. Make sure the gold is all the same.
