Update on my Project GSm1

I finally got around to putting on the belly pan. I also had some time to paint a few things, what do you guys think?







Im about 90% done, The onyl other cosmo mods I will be doing is adding either a hyosung GT650 or a CBR F4i rear seat and plastics, and a new paint job.

Lookin' good man!  I love that belly pan.  Also, I really dig the color matched headlight and gauge buckets, it really peps up the appearance of the bike!

Good job!

hey jay...where did u get yours from??

[Jay_wolf]

i got it from ebay , errrm , its written somewhere down the company , new there just over the 100 dollar mark  , errm ill Pm it if i remember , its a Uk company, and for the record , my bike being painted , so its not some wierd colour scheme!

Yeah I Trimmed about a 1/2 above the mounting bolt and removed the oil cooler bracket and screwed the belly pan dorectly to the frame, otherwise it would stick way out and look cheesy. The rear sets are stock and I made the pegs myself at work, I was going to do spikes but got lazy. Not sure if you can see from the pics but you will notice i have two pegs for the driver, Stock position and another set welded to the end of the heel guard.

[Jay_wolf]

I ment the Pegs yea , they looks good , how do they fit , and how do u remove the old ones , if u could make a set , id be willing to pay , i no shipping is a nightmare to the uk , but thats Just what im looking for, i dont want to fork out for woodcraft,s and it would match the lines , i got paypal,

and +1 on the naked , it looks sooo much better ,

I was thinking of painting my head light bucket, what kind of paint did you use?

[mach1]

PPG Polyurithane enamel, part number should be AUE-280. Im a painter at work so we get the good stuff.

They Fit good If made correct, the way I made them was out of solid round tubing measured the stock pegs cut the rod to size  grinded down the tips to look round(now comes the hard part) then drilled the holes for the pin. another way is to get a set of stock pegs cut off the square bracket with the hole already in it and just weld on the round bars. Just let me know what you want and I can make it.a drawing whould help.
