Hello from northwestern New Jersey

[Offcenter]

Hey gang, I recently acquired a very nice 76 Gl from a friend of mine.
It needs a few things, but nothing major. Unfortunately winter is upon us
here in New Jersey and I have no place to work on it 'til spring rolls around.
Meanwhile I'm collecting info by reading the forums and stockpiling the
parts I'm going to need come spring.
I'll post some pics of my bike once I have enough posts.

Ok, uploaded my pics, but I can't link them to my post here.
I posted a message to the moderators asking about this.

cool bikes

Nice bikes offcenter but not the color I'm looking for. The blue green special was on the 75 thru 77 models, then the granduer blue was on the 78 up till around 81 models. Here is what I think the blue green special looks like. It appears similar in other images I have found. Just trying to make reasonably sure before I start shelling out dollars for paint. :smilie_happy:

I don't see the picture, Mike. Guess there was a glitch.
I've found some pics of newer bikes in a dark blue similar
to mine, but no 76 models. I"m guessing someone repainted
mine to look like the newer models, especially since they did
a very good job of matching the pin stripe pattern.
I found some pics of 75 and 76 models in the blue green, so
I know what you are looking for. In fact I remember seeing
them around the streets when the bikes were new.

You can see it in my album. I'm talking about the pearl white one with what I think are blue green panels.

Don't I wish! That's his bike.

 

[Offcenter]

No No! It's not my bike. That's a pic I found somewhere on the web
with the blue green color.
Mine is the midnight blue one.
I think I'm going to end up painting it, after I get the mechanical problems
sorted out.

 

[slabghost]

I stand corrected but it must be someones nice bike.
