Now New owner of a 1400

Thanks Bluey, great result and write up. If its that much better, might have to look into it. My forks have all been set, Wilbers springs. Work nicely. Rears are stock but just serviced. YSS sound like a better option.

Been busy over the past few weeks...

Had some time off work as I resigned last year before christmas, having accepted a job offer at another place.  So what better use of time than to finish off as much as I could of the 1400.

pics of my respray, which I have done myself.

All lettering etc is done by myself...  using my vinyl cutter to make my own templates and decals

Putting it all back together

[BlueDragon]

Nearly Finished..

Just need to add some finishing touches to it and waiting on my PAIR block off plates to arrive. 

I found some clear indicator lenses which I like better than the standard "orange blobs" and they are really bright as well.

Whilst it won't be to everyone's taste.  It has turned out pretty much the way I wanted it.  I still have a GS1000S headlight fairing to paint and fit up as well. 

I still have the original body parts as these were all spares that I bought.  not sure if I will just restore the other parts back to factory original, or if I will come up with another paint scheme I like and do another respray...  LOL  if I get sick of this this one, I can change to another paint scheme and back again..

Bloody awesome job Bluey!   Well done indeed.

Bluey, 👍 Superb job. Having option to change again, brilliant.

That is one of the best redone 1400's I've seen so far. I really like the pics showing your handy work BD, @BlueDragon . Congratulations on a work of art 

[Big Phil]

Thanks everyone.

Once it is fully finished, I'll take some decent photos with my real camera and not the phone camera and upload them.

Then I'll get to work on designing a paint scheme for the spare bodywork I have....

Looks like a classic superbike of old.......classy
