Those GS500 wheels you guys hooked me up with...

Artsy fartsy...



And for the sake of actually seeing the wheels...



Still need paint to make it look decent.  Right now the rear wheel is offset the front by about 10mm...my spacers don't really line up right now so I'll have to cut new ones.  I had to make a new bearing brace tube for the rear wheel because the GS500 uses one that's about .200" longer than the GS750, but I got her sorted.  It was fun.

Don't mind the "ick".  She developed a massive oil leak from the clutch cover just before being torn down...fixed now, but not clean.

Oh and want to do something will make your stomach turn?  Forget to tighten the rear axle...just once...

That looks pretty killer! You gonna end up running a front fender or leaving it bare? Also, what about side covers? Fab something up or find originals?

Really cool idea!

No fender until I take her back to Colorado...then I'll find a brace with just enough to cut the water (they let me slide wrapping a bandanna around the forks last year, which worked great, incidentally).

Don't know about side covers...I'd like to cut it and store all the electronics under a solotail, but I do love when the wife rides with me.  I'll find a compromise somewhere, just don't know where yet.
