2006 Black & White Adventure

[dogman]

Nice job. Like the seats. I too hate the red GSA, hence just bought a magn version. What really looks nice is changing the engine gaurds to satin black - just done mine. Dont quite understand why BumW use that orrible paint on them? PJ1 paint is the biz!

Here's my new bike. I've had it for 2 weeks now and it's really growing on me.

I hated the red on it though, so had the seat re-covered by Tony Archer of Huddersfield, changed the crossbar pad to a black one from Motoworks, and changed the red tank graphics to black, from 2 wheel humvee.
I think it looks a lot classier now.

Andy how much did Tony charge to recover the seats,was it a straightforward re-cover or did you have gel inserts and or re-shaping done?

yea....please answer the previous questions from 2 wheel humvee because you have put in reaaaaally strange paths...

I don't like the red in my seat an definetely I will change the colour....

Dasically I am wondering how much cost you, how long it took to finish it...and if you did any specific shape for your seat...

A white GSA with black seats and black stickers with red letters for the adventure (I really don't understand why you don't produce them 2 wheel humvee...)would be perfect

My seats are with Tony now,he quoted me £120 to re-trim both and add a gel pad to the riders seat plus P&P

Hi Andy

That’s a real good looking GSA you have there.
I really like the white GSA’s. I have a 09 Magnesium one, which I think looks a bit dull. So I’m thinking of painting the beak and tank cover white.

 

[2 wheel humvee]

Time for an update,I Traded my 06 GSA for an 09 model a couple of months back
Day 1

I've added H.I.D. conversions to the headlamps,Wunderlich steering lock stops, fender extender,mud sling,Stebel horn and a T-Tech headlamp guard and "eyebrow", and then..............I got bored with the colour

So I had the beak and tank cover painted white with a light pearl effect by a local company called R.I.P. custom,I had the seats re-trimmed in dark grey and had gel inserts fitted by Tony Archer-he's done a good job,the Gel seat is very comfortable and the replacement material is a very close match to the original,what the pics don't show clearly is the change of colour of the material,the original light colour was almost olive green from some angles,Tony has replaced that with a more neutral dark grey.

It wouldn't be complete without graphics,so I had a play around and came up with these............

I've recently swapped the stock headers for Remus items and I'm tempted to say I'm finished-but these things never are..............finished

So it's my "work in progress"............it won't be to everyone's taste but it's different and it's mine
Thanks for the inspiration Andy

The sprayer's name is "Scottish John" obviously he's based in South Wales there is a contact link on his website here http://www.ripcustommotorcycles.co.uk/
He's a mate so I paid "mate's rates" drop him a line and tell him Steve sent you he will look after you

It's a lovely bike! Nearly as handsome as the rider

Much better than those snot green japanese things you see on the IOW ferry

Good to meet you two too

Not to be a wet-blanket but...does this not affect re-sale value? (Assuming you will sell one day). Do like the look though

 

[Andy Hird]

Looks really nice Steve

My next job is to get the aluminium on the Vario lids painted matt black.

My beak and tank cover are now black, but I think there is too much black on the bike, so the white will be going back on and the black painted magma red over winter
