dont take this the wrong way as i like blue as you can see from my 1150 just below you,but if all that powdercoated blue was black it would have already sold,you gonna have to find someone who really loves blue,good luck and again beautiful resto.

Yeah! Strange, I have been told that before, I really don't want to spray the wheels gloss black over that wonderful powdercoating, buy I guess this spring I may have to do that..... thanks again, Phil.

Can't please everyone! I'll get another set of rims and do those black, and see if that helps!

Wheels and swing arm are now black, will post pix soon and if no luck, I'll post on ebay, but econmy is messed up at the moment, so I will see how it goes.

Just for your interest, if I was close enough to where your GS1000 is to consider buying it the colour of the swing-arm and the wheels would have been the least of my considerations. I didn't really like that blue a lot and think the black will be much better BUT BUT BUT the bike is so 'better than new' in the photos that if it runs anywhere near as good as it looks I find it hard to imagine a better one available anywhere. Getting hold of one as good as yours looks would be great...any costs involved in then changing colour of various bits would be a minor issue.I know photos can make bikes look better on screen than they are in reality but I find it hard to imagine how any GS1000G on the planet could top how your one appears to be.

Thanks for your kind words sir, again though, CANT PLEASE everyone, we'll see if I get interest when I repost it with black wheels/swing arm.

Well, I guess no one wants a mint GS1000, if it was a kawasaki 1000 it would have way gone by now.
I guess I'll keep it until the recession is over.

Hey all of you out there wanting to spend $2500.00 on a bike that needs a bunch of work you are wasting your time. This bike at $4,000 is a super clean machine and is an eye catcher. Good luck on the sale of your bike. That right smart person just may come along soon.
