Kept the GS, now for that Special Edition colour change!

So after not being able the sell the GS at below trade, ive decided to keep and now lets make it look "unique".

I need to do the following to be able to change the GS to look like this:

1. Make Blue GS tank stickers.
2. Cover the seat in appropriate blue and grey.
3. Spray the bike white.



Thanks to the okes on wilddogs ive got the colour code for the white which was 437, Closest I got was 439 (yes, im lazy).


The stickers I made myself, blank sticker paper from PNA, a template and some paint here's the stickers:


I went to the factory outlet in Struben street PTA got the correct blue and grey, and had it covered by the upholsterers.
Problem, as you could see in the front of the seat, the heat gun broke half way through the front seat as it was being covered, and is a bit dimply now. Ill let it stand in the sun, hopefully it would cure the problem, else Ill go back so they can quickly fix it.


The bike will be prepped on Friday, and ons Saturday I will spray it white, ill post some more pics later.

the bike in the picture looks very nice

Wow Tr0jan - so you're pimping your ride! I guess we all have a little pimp in us - even if some are hiding it very far away.

Perhaps a good wash would have made a new paint job unnecessary!


Me thinks a couple of Motorrad stickers will also look cool! Have fun and keep posting pics as you go along.

Ill measure it this afternoon. And ill try to find the font. Thx dude, just let me know what the printing etc costs. I will reimburse you.... Plus breakfast

A: = 6cm
B: = 35cm

font: = BMW custom font... (No seriously, I cannot find anything on that font)

Also, im not sure how your cutting/printing works.

The left and Right sticker differs: The Roundish and Triangular type stickers switch places ie:
