  • Help!!! How are pin stripes at Venturer

    Hello to all,
    I'm just restoring my 81' Venturer. For that I need detailed pictures of the pin stripes. Especially of the tank.
    Can anybody send me a picture of that.
    What is the size of the stripes and what color.
    Many thanks for help
    Matthias

    Hey Matthias,
    Here is a pict of the '81. It is the black and silver model.



    Here is a pict of the 80 model, very similar.



    hope this helps.

    Ride Safe.

      Thanks Wayne, but I know this pictures. It's difficult to see the exact pin-strip design.
      Yesterday I found a Venturer tank at e-bay.
      There are some good pictures to see how it has to be.
      I tryed to insert the pictures but I don't know how.

      Thanks
      Matthias

        I actually still have all of the factory pinstripes on mine. I would be glad to grab a measuring tape when I get to the house and measure the width for ya. I can take some up close photos for you but I'll have to email those as I really don't know how to work a forum.

                  Many thanks Ken,

                  thats, what I was looking for. I try to make it like that, but with black metallic instead of the indigo blue.

                  Thanks a lot

                      Pinstriping

                      Howdy Matthias,
                      I recall seeing a schematic for my own XS1100 E when I was looking at some details, and I noticed that the gold pinstriping for my tank, and seat trim is a graphic decal, and has a part number.

                      If mine has a p/n, then so might yours as well!

                      Check out the schematic for your own scoot and see. If so, then you might luck out and find them available to order.

                      Good luck,
                      Red Tarrents

                        Thos are some really good pic Ken. I found out while doing some night photos, tonight, that the pinstipes are also highly reflective.
