Love the ELR's . Almost bought one last year, but the guy wanted way too much moolah. Saw Eddie back in the day- awesome bike and great memories..

All of them look good, I have had an '80 GS1100e along with a '99 Rex.  I thought all '99's had the white on top of the purple and the 00 had it like you have pictured.  Great job it appears on keeping these old bikes around and up and running!
