I just wanted to get some thoughts on some things I am going to do this week in the evening since its going to rain:
Remove the fender
Put the Suzuki sticker on the fairing
The rim stripes
I think the red stripe would bring out the red in the bike, I was also thinking silver, or maybe not at all.... Please excuse my awesome photoshop skills :laugh:
Thanks!
Matt

What did you round it off with, just some sandpaper to make it smooth?
You don't think the red (or the stripes in general) look chincy ?
Boss500, among others, put red rimstripes on his black/red bike and, at least in my opinion, I think it looks good.

Ok that looks awesome!
Can I ask where did you get the turn signalson the front, and brake light.. I assume the signals for the rear are inside. I was going to do the GSR mirros, but I dont think I want the holes in the fairings... ur install looks really clean.

I wish that was my bike. It's BOSS500's, who has long since moved on to a GSX-R. Here's a thread with some info on his mods, and if you need more info you could try PM'ing him.

I used a carpet knife(basically razor blade with handle), a sand paper, and a pocket torch to get rid of that white scruff marks that show up. worked great :thumb:
those stripes wont look bad at all, any advise on matching a color with black/silver gs500?

How about yellow, or maybe a dark navy blue..

Copy them out into Paint, and use the bucket and drop some colors on them.. let me know what ya decide.
For black/silver, I'd go with polished rims (such as Alpha's): http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=29785.0 (http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=29785.0)
