Hey In that case, I'll trade them for ones that will fit a bar end when I come to atlanta next.
Cool.

Yes the turnsignals will all work on the rear. You need to drill an appropriate sized hole in your rear fender and put them on. Theis wires are usually not long enough to reach the plugs on the bike so you might have to extend the things. Front... pretty much none of them will work. That's why usually people leave the fronts stock... Heck the rear wont fit the front, front will fit the rear but not the other way around. Rear can be modded for the front though.
Cool.

I saw the WOF pic that masive rear wheel/tire...  how do you keep the chain from hitting the frame, the engine sproket cover etc.
Cool.

got Buell signals $8.00 each $16 total. The rear are stock and voila I got blinkers.  :)

Nomak

I need forks and the head lamp housing and beauty ring. Any of y'all have any stock or do you have any good cheap alternate parts I could slap on?

Thanks

Nomak

OR do you guys have any alternate cheap headlighting option? something simple, bolt on or a something with a website that has like diy instructions

Thanks

Jared

Servus,

I take this front sprocket:

An offset front sproket.... yes familiar with that... it will move the chain out of the way of the tire... But how do you keep it from hitting the frame... Or How close is it to the frame right above the swingarm pivot.
Cool.

Servus,

here a pic from the Bandit Swingarm:

I am talking about the chain hitting the frame right above the swingarm pivot. How much clearance you have between chain and frame. the GS Frame, not the swingarm.
Cool.

Servus,

Sorry, but my english is not so good.

I have 5 mm from the frame to the chain and 5 mm from the chain to the tyre.

Greetz Jim

The Buddha

Ok That's not bad.... But make like a thin sheet of Acrylic and cut a small piece and glue or zip tie it to the frame, that way the chain will hit it instead of the frame, and you can replace that every few months when its chewed up. A chain should not move side ways over 5mm, but just in case.
Cool.

Servus,

I have a sheet of Acryl at the frame.

But thanks for the info.
