Hi Al', the GT750 "dragon scales" are fine and will never be changed, :D the "GSX1100g goldfish however has had to have a respray after developing a "crazy paving" effect. Been to the sprayers today for a progress report, almost finished and looking really good. Very impressed with the cost too, £350 for the tank and all the panels, including all the stripes.
See you at South Leverton, if not before.
Cheers, Steve.
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Hi young man.
If you're really having problems then I may be able to help, later in the year.
I used to be JS MOTORCYCLES doing all the Suzuki triples.
For a reference just ask around there's a lot of people who will know of me.

Just mention the name John Storrie.
Officialy I'm retired but still keep a few spares and OEM connectors.

Regards John

Are you from darn sarf somewhere?
Have a trip up to God's county - Yorkshire - for the 2019 rally and we'll show you some proper Sizuki'ing.

Interesting that the 1100G developed a paint issue, I was never that sure that part of the bike had been done too well, looked OK, but not sure how much preparation was done by whoever sprayed it.
