Title: A day of GS cleaning with pics
Post by: sprint_9 on April 24, 2005, 10:47:05 PM
Spent most of the day cleaning up my GS, then went and rode about 70 miles.  It always seems after a good wash and wax that my bike feels like new or something, it always seems to run better. :dunno:  Oh well I like seeing others bike pics so I thought Id share some of mine.

Really? If you see another anywhere I would like to know. I also am looking for the frame clips for the stock belly fairing. I've got one, but need four. Bought the belly piece from a Twinner, but it needs work. Had a frame clip on a donor chassis.

You can get those clips from bikebandit or ronayers.  Those nose fairings are hard to come by, but Ill keep my eye open.

I've got one of the OEM Targa-like fairings, but replaced it with the Givi A750:

...but I have 3 fairings now, so wouldn't mind losing one.  It's purple.

No its my women, just havent gotten any digital pics of her yet.

Yea I forgot about the Targa, they are still made so it will probley be easier to get.

The paint was done by a good friend of mine who is very good, and does great work.  He used to paint our sprint cars, that blue is the same blue we used on the last car so its got some history behind it.  Found this, what my bike looked like when I picked it up, alot of dollars later but its pretty sweet now.

Mmmm.. looks hot. I alllllllmost went w/ blue when I got mine painted. Makes me almost wish I did. Buen trabajo, I've decided dark wheels really set off the early bikes w/ the dark engine.
