Looks nice- what mirrors are those? Were they easy to install and did they need to be modified in any manner.

Frankieman I dont have the parts you were sending yet.
If you haven't sent it, maybe I'll add some to it.
I think a sproket carrier sprung up on my list. Maybe other stuff too. I'll let you know ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Looks great Frankie -- interesting blend of old and new.

I have to say though that the farings seem naked without matching tape to the tank and front faring details.  I'd be one to add some markings, but that's just me.

I guess I'm too much of a noob because I couldn't find the Member Bikes section.  That's why I asked you to post it in the thread.

It is kind of a pain since there is not a link on the forum section to go back to the home page. So, you have to go to www.gstwin.com then there is the link to the Wall of Fame. Here is the direct link: www.gstwins.com/photogallery

Yeah without the stickers it takes a little while to get used to it. Good work non the less. btw check your pm.

How big?... I'd probably still trade.  Mines an 05 so I've got a white lower fairing and blue upper and rear.  But with all the graphics off, it looks odd with the blue rear end.  I wanna get a white rear and have the upper painted white as well.
