FYI, I emailed Lo-Ko about their powder coating services. They charge about $200 to blast and powder a frame and about $15 to blast and coat smaller pieces (depending on the color, I'm guessing black is the cheapest). Expect 1 to 1.5 week turnaround time...I hope that info helped out...

From what I remember, the PO told me that the mags were aftermarket or off some other bike (I don't remember of hand). I've been hearing they were worth alot of money to the right buyer. The funny things was, I really hated these mags at first and preferred the stock spoke wheels which I also...

Re: "Oh no!!! Not another GS 750 project!!!" I finally decided to revive this project... ;D Here is the stripped down version...
