Well done, looks very clean. What exhaust did you use?

Gorgeous - the before I meant.
I'd have found a 05 was it or some other year maybe 02 I think with the blue tail and swapped that.

The seat is awesome though. Didn't know they made those for the 01+

Anyway that's just me.

Cool.

Quite expensive but worth the money. Really comfortable and its lowered about an inch from the original.

Top Sellerie, or some other brand? I've been thinking about getting the gel and raised option. Close to $400 all said and done though.

Amanda322

Top sellerie.
I had it done in the winter so i sent then my seat so it was alot less expensive but took really long , about 2 months...

It is really worth it though, i took gel and lowered option and it makes a huge difference. Confort level is way better then stock seat !
As a bonus it looks amazing, i get comments all the time for it..

well done amanda .. i love the clean all black look and that seat is dope .. i have an 07 black and metalic grey .. i removed the decals and was seriously thinking about blacking out the gas tank & windscreen to match .. i come to find out the decals on the gas tank have clear coat over then and dont come off without serious effort .. if i had a bigger budget id do the turn signals and handlebars; but maybe in the future .. very nice custom GS !! :icon_lol:

That looks magnificent! While I'm not a fan of "matte black" bikes, yours certainly looks sharp! Well done! :cheers:

Ya  im thinking about doing the handlebars too. I think id look awsome but it seems a little complicated for my skill level! :/ if u do it, i d love to see how it turns out.

As for the tank, its a real pain trying to sand it evenly with those decals under the gloss layer! I basically just lightly sanded it so the paint would stick. It actually looks pretty cool. Its embossed, looks like the tank was made like that

It's getting real popular to rag on matte black bikes  :sad:

When you've had a bike that the PO painted so horribly that way, then you'll understand. LOL!  :thumb:  :cheers:
