    Hi Everyone,

    Great forum, and have already been pointed in the right direction by one of the members :)

    My ride is a 1997 Suzuki Across, which I've had about a month.

    Fun bike, and loving the boot!

    Cheers

    Darren

    Hey Darren
    Welcome to the forum, the Across is a great bike and like you, love the boot!! Greyimport put you onto Ace of sprays and I am certain Bob will look after you. Bob has painted several bikes for us and we have always been delighted with his work.

    Cheers Phil,

    Exchanged a few emails with Bob already, and I'm impressed with his quick reply late on a Saturday afternoon.

    I test rode quite a few bikes, but kept coming back to the Across. It's fun, handles well and gets along nicely

    Thanks for the advice GreyImport. Unless someone has the paint code, I'll catch up with Bob and see if he can colour match it and repair it. Overall the bike is in great condition, just a few annoying cosmetic scratches :thumb_ups:

    It's bound to happen on the Across as there is moucho panels, it is after all a 16 year old bike. By the way, I found the paint code for my gsf400 bandit under the rear seat, might be worth having a look. :)

    Too true Phil. Unfortunately nothing under the seat :-( Nothing a bit of colour matching won't resolve
