I agree with the Spectacular! adjective. Great job and I love the color scheme.

Color theme

The color scheme is original..This bike is very close to original except for exhaust.

Garage

wonderful job, looks like new. Your garage must be filling up.

That is one of the reasons this one took me so long to complete as I enlarged my garage earlier in the year. You can never build them big enough because you will find a way to fill it up!.

Thanks Steve.. Coming from you, that's a real compliment. BTW, thanks for the left rear foot peg, it cleaned up really nice with Super Blue and looks new!

Great looking restoration! What is Super Blue and how did that clean up your foot peg? Mine need some TLC.

Thanks

I meant to say Super Clean! It is a cleaner you can buy at WalMArt. It does a fantastic job on old rubber. I usually spray and let soak then use an old tooth brush to scrub real good.

Great looking bike

WOW, that looks great I love it when someone puts them back to looking like they rolled off the showroom, and you did just that. Those pipes look great too, how much do they charge for the coating?

I had these done in Lafayette La. @ Streamline Coatings. 142 Easy Street Lafayette La. 70506. Shane Thibodeaux 337-289-9050 Cell 337-277-1403

Coating

I think around $225.

That is excellent! I wish my '80G looked that good!

I think ALL of us wish out 80G's looked that good!

All 80 G's

You're G could look like this if you are willing to putting some good old fashion muscle and willing to put a few bucks in her!
I have a winter project I am going to start here soon. This one will be sort of a frankenbike since the 79 frame was hacked pretty bad. I bought a nice 80 frame and have tank and side covers already painted. I have all the parts I have been accumulating for a couple it years so wish me luck.

Yeah, but I need a transportation bike in the meantime cause mine is my primary transportation. So I'm looking for a a project bike so I can do something like that. But not on this one till I have two of them.

Ok. That is something I did not consider! My bikes are a hobby and therapy for me. I hope that one day you find that fixer upper and if I can help, do not hesitate to ask!

My bike is why I need "THERAPY"
