New to this message board and new to owning a street bike. I thought I would post some pics of what I am starting with. Got it for cheap. Its already got a K&N filter(lunchbox??), and a Wileyco exhaust. Just needed a batt. to get running. Definately needs a new tank. Getting one in a couple of weeks. Everything else it needed I found on ebay (love that place).

Welcome Chem!
Hope you got, or are getting, a new chain too. That one looks cactus.

Welcome to the forums. Have a quick look through the for sale section on the forums as well if you are chasing parts.

Nice bike!!! I love the pink and blue color scheme with the white tires. But what is that large POS in the foreground?

Welcome! I can't see the pics at work, but if it's got a lunchbox and WileyCo Exhaust there's a good chance the PO was a member of the site and it may have Buddha's adapter for the exhaust. Good luck with getting it going.
First, the large vehicle in the forground is the baddest 4x4 ever made, the Ford Excursion. Goes anywhere and over anything. Thats my other toy. Second, no addapter on the exhaust. Someone cut it, turned it, and welded it on. Looks really shity. Going to change the whole thing eventually. I like the sound but not the looks. Not a lot of power on this bike so the lighter the better. And this exhaust just seems heavy. I was thinking of a GP style exhaust. Small, lightwieght, and stainless steal. I dont like chrome, so thats my first complaint on the current exhaust.
Two was complementing the bicycle and calling the GS the POS LOL!

We've got a blind FORD guy...baddest...umm, okay...don't worry...when you get stuck, I'll come pull you out... :icon_twisted: :flipoff:
Just pullin' your chain man :thumb:...welcome to the forum...we're more worried about two wheels than four...hence your daughters bike getting the attention over your "other toy"... :icon_mrgreen:
Later.
PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :icon_mrgreen: is the best GS colour...welcome! :woohoo:
But of course only Pandy would be saying that.
See Flick is modest like his Owner. I like my guys well dressed and modest! Awww, heck who am I trying to fool a hot firefighter in just his bunker gear pants and i'm all over him. Oh, krap my internal monologue went off out loud!

Sorry but the purple color is leaving very soon. Havent decided on a color yet. Too many choices. love the factory Suzuki blue, love the bright alien green color, maybe even the murdered out look with all flat black. Was tossing around the idea today of painting it up like an old WWII bomber with the pinup girl and all. Any sugestions??
The bomber idea would be cool. Air brush some lines for the panels and some rounds for the rivets and a pin up. Hell yeah.
Bettie Page would look cool on a bike if you are going for that pin up girl retro thingy.
Thats what I was thinking. I have been trying to find some WWII bomber nose art that I like. Ive got a crappy tank that I am going to practice on first.
One of my absolute favorites...

I think that is flange version 1 ... crappy is my middle name - put a pic of it from the front side of the can - like get it from where your right foot would be.
Then that also looks like a crash bar that some clown with some pipe hacked up ... get a pic of that too.
Cool.
Buddha.
That is a great nose art. I alos like this one.
