Hmm, white looks better than I thought it would.  :thumb:

Maybe put some hand guards on it (WHITE) ?

The mirrors, nu - uh man, you gotta use chrome or bar ends. The white mirrors are just not doing it for me.

How often do you clean your wheels ? ;)

Cool bike  !

Had some chrome mirrors on, but could not see out of them. Painted the stock mirrors and put it back on untill I get these.

I don't clean the wheels often, the front doesn't get to bad, the back gets funky quick. I thought about hand guards, after getting hit by a rock in the nuckel. Which type will fit the GS.

yeah who ever sold me that flyscreen is great, it took a while to find one at a good price. Thanks a lot.

I was thinking of painting the hump on the screen blue, what do you guys think?

I have a new respect for the stock mirrors after haveng the chrome ones on there, all I could see was my shoulder. I would like to see the bar ends on there, but I'm wondering how well I'll be able to see. I use my bike as a commuter to work almost every day. I'm really thinking about hand guards also.

the bar ends are nice  you can move them around to fit your height and sight angle.  it sets it out farther frmo the bike so you see more around you not just your shoulder...i have a set and i like them.  Although if you drop it  the mirrors are f*cked.
