Aluminum?

[katfan97]

I've been looking at a lot of the GS's on the site, and I've notice two differences between the majority and my bike:  first all have an "aluminum/chrome/silver" engine block guard (where it says Suzuki) and mine is black, second I have freakin' white wheels, and most everyone else's are black.  Did the '93 have the black/white color scheme, or did someone paint my bike?  The guy I bought mine from says he didn't paint them!  Please help.  Is there silver underneath my black?

nope, the older ones (until ~97 i think) had black engines. Either that, or someone has been really busy.

I have a 93 and my engine is black, too.

Can you buy the silver?  It looks somewhat better, I think, aesthetically speaking.  Do you have the "white" rims or black?

I have a 95 with black engine and white wheels
I really hate the white wheels

i've got a 96 and i personally think it's the best looking scheme.

I'm wondering, can you paint the wheels?  Or do you have to buy new ones?

I've read some posts of people painting their rims. I myself dont have the patience of taking my wheels off. It seems too much of a pain in the A@@

do a search on the forums. there are several listed

you can paint the wheels, ie spraypaint. you can also powercoat ($$) em. my 91 has black engine, and white wheels (well had white wheels, now I have a different front wheel and its black.. so black front white rear..) do a search for painting rims, its been described here before... good luck.

I have a 93' too. Same black and white paint scheme w/ the purple metalic flakes in the tank's paint. White rims, WHO ARE THESES PEOPLE?!?

Just paint the wheels silver  (or another color). Here is a link to a paint thread:
