I had an early 80's (80 model, I think. I'm old and can't remember) GS1100 right about 40 years ago. Same color but with a terrible custom paint job (that was a big thing back then) that looked like birds had roosted on a limb above the bike Never let a friend paint your stuff.
My buddies bike had the same thing happen. They wanted to surprise him with a painted tiger on the bike. It was a very 80's thing to doHe didn't like it and parked the bike
