Title: Anyone have pics of a Burgundy GS500E?
Post by: Tombstones81 on May 15, 2011, 04:56:55 PM
Cant seem to find any pics of a GS500E colored Burgundy. (will keep lookin of course)

Gotta repaint the bike sometime.
Was just going to go with Black.
But while waiting for parts at a dealer, I was browsing some helmets killin time.
Seen this full face Burgundy helmet and loved the color on it.
Its also my fav. color on cars.

So I came home and started browsing but cant find any.

Just wanna see what this style of bike looks like in this color before I make any choices.

Thanks

Burgandy wasn't a color offered from the factory.I haven't seen one repainted that color either.You could color match your bike to the helmet.Most local auto paint shops can match colors.

perfect enough :) ty

yep, def a sweet color for this style of bike.

Just wanted a visual before I did anything.
as oddly enough, it doesnt look bad but I'm just not too fond of the black on my bike.
Might just be the shoddy job the previous owner did.

Just didnt wanna go paint it Burgundy or a dark red close to it and be like... meh

Now to work on the dent or try to get another gas tank.
Just wish my frame was black as it goes good with that bike there ^^
and painting it isnt an option (the frame) as im Far too new and no garage to work in.

Mine is kind of Burgandy, this picture is a bit lighter than it actually is, because of the sun.

That red is darker. Looks like candy antares red, the same as Junior. Trey is purple.
I think he's looking for something in-between.
How about a photo of the helmet? Color could be picked from it then photoshop a bike!

I'll try to find a pic of it online, but I only use a digital camera to take pics and didnt have it on me.

and that specific dealer where I seen it is a good 40 min drive away. lol

was one of those things where I just turned around to browse and kill time and it just jumped out at me.
was only $150 helmet so it might be my replacement after I get some more $, put all I had extra into getting bike on the road.
current helmet is pretty much brand new (only wore it less then 10 times) but that one was just too sweet. Shiny gloss burgundy.

and thanks for more photos
