I think everyone knows that candy antares red is the best gs color ever.

if you go for a color other than white...do a candy...candies are the best...mine is blue...but you can easily do any other color..it makes the color pop and if you use a high metal flake base it really shines.. check out www.alsacorp.com

I like the plain simple S on the gas tank (like on SV650s).

Def go with just the S on the tank.

I have a '94 GS and I love the color of red it was painted with from the factory.  I think whites may be a chore to keep clean. I think reds and blues are the best colors. just my 2 cents.

heatherg11

rims were just painted silver by dgyver...not going to touch them-they look great!! So, it's gotta go with the silver rims, they aren't changing.

That is a pretty cool decal.  It's my favorite suzuki tank design AND it's reflective.

The purple reminds me of grape Popsicles..you know..the kind that taste like cough syrup? Which in turn make me want to lick the tank just to make sure it doesn't taste like grape Popsicles. So there..if you don't want random strangers licking your bike you shouldn't  keep it purple  :laugh:
