Has anyone repainted their GS in the SE colours ?

[2 wheel humvee]

I like the old silver, before the ADV and with the old graphics.
it was decent paint and laquered too.

At some stage I would like to add the original stickers to my range,there will come a time when 1150/1100 owners may want to restore their steeds to original looking and mothball them for posterity,or am I thinking of Johnnyboxer

twowheelhumvee of this parish can do the decals for ya and yes you have to notify VOSA

Cheers for the heads up

Replied to your pm Onahi

Got your reply Steve

So, It's Alpine white in satin finish, can anyone tell me the blue ? for the seat cover...

Are the BMW badges simply stuck on ? (the round tank BMW badge)

Thanks.

[Twotter]

Looks good & extra marks for colour matching your garage too

That looks great Nigel.

The white paintwork looks very deep and rich if you see what I mean.

Cheers Guys. Im very pleased with it. It is the BMW Alpine white, done by a specialist. Worth the money. Shame it's gunna sit in the garage now for the winter
Pussy arn't I !

And after putting it all back together, i only had one spare washer on the floor !!!! Oh yeah, colour coded garage now too

I see you have some leaves left on the floor that match the original colour though.

I think I prefer red, red and white. I might do mine like the blue/white GS pattern, but with red white instead, just to be ockard.

All white looks a bit aneamic to me. The decals break it up, but it is a bit too white for my liking - the important thing though, is DO YOU LIKE IT?

What do you lot think ?

i think its terrible that you have to do the washing and listen to the whites while logged onto here...

That's funny, I was going post a thread about what is the most suitable colour for a GS.

I like the old silver, before the ADV and with the old graphics.
it was decent paint and laquered too.

I may change my SE to that one day or a deep strong red with black seat.

Can't blame you for wanting to change from monkey piss yellow or mandarin as you call it...yellow bikes are for folk from Essex

MONKEY PISS ?!! ESSEX ?!!!

I might have a ADV tank in "Alpine White" for sale soon that would look lovely on that bike......

 

[Urban Rider]

Hi Onahi,

Looks great, Blue and white SE combo is the best IMHO........
