Quite the dis-heartening sight to see one dissected and on the table/floor like that
You are just doing a face lift, right? Not an autopsy?

She is a 1988 LS400. I have brought a 1988 LS650 engine with recent work. I also got insired by a you Tube clip from Hungary, of a LS650 all in white including frame. Look stunning.

Because the Savage is quite a small bike, My theory is to give it the illusion of being bigger.Fat people wear black to look slimer and white makes people look bigger. Well thats my opinion.

I normally don't care for white bikes, but that one is pretty cool looking. I bet a tastfull minimalist black pin stripe job to carry on with the seat piping would make it stand out more
Best of luck with the project and your vision!

I like his bags but that's about it.
I stripped down an EX500 and painted the frame blue and the fairing white. Looked alright. Sold it before I finished the engine.

Removed front tank mounts as new tank screws straight onto wishbone. Bead blasted and sanded frame and swing arm. Grinded passenger mounts off swing arm and filled in holes ready for sanding. Next is base coat with primer.

Picked up custom tank today after having mounting tag welded.
Put some filler on and will let dry over night. Will sand tomorrow and paint with primer.
