How did you polish those rims? Also what rear is that on the gs? It say something 650...

Joshr08 has a stock rear wheel and the lips are polished.A Katana 600 wheel will work but has straight spokes.I run a Bandit 600 rear wheel with a 160-60-17 tire rear and 120-60-17 on the GS front wheel.The 160 is to wide.Bandit 600 rear wheel looks like the GS wheel and is 4.5 inches wide.That is where it all ends.It took dgyver and myself a whole day to fit the wheel in the swing arm.He machined new spacers and re worked a few.Then I had to spread my swing arm 1.25 inches to allow the cush drive to be spaced out to keep the sprocket on the hub.The Bandit 600 wheel isn't worth the effort.If you want matching wheels get both straight spoke wheels from a Katana 600.The front fits but needs everything changed over from the GS wheel.

Would someone please explain why none of the skilled / talented people seem to live near me? I drool over half the projects I see on this website (though "bobbers" make me VOMIT!), and although I've been a motorcycle junkie all my life, my "skills" are practically non-existent.

I saw your pics where you widened the rear frame for the swing arm(lever).That is some great work.
