Title: New to the forums, some pics...
Post by: ecarpio on July 25, 2008, 11:37:16 AM
Hello all, I got me a 07 GS500F about three months ago and signed up for the forums not too long ago.  I am in Santa Barbara County California.  So far I have put on an integrated tail light from clear alternatives, reflective wheel tape, and got up the nerve to drill through my fairings for sliders.  I drilled the wholes too large (I'll admit it, I misread the instructions), but it still looks pretty good.  I still have some touch up stuff to do after using the dremel to cut off the stupid looking plastic mud flap for the tail light as well.

Welcome to the fun! this site and the great people here have helped me greatly and made me laugh till no end! Research the site for stuff, its there, if not, just ask.
Btw nice wheel stripes. I bought some for mine (florescent yellow), but they are on a roll and i dont know how straight mine will look when i try to curve it around the wheel. Were yours curved or on a roll? any tips? Nice bike!

The stripes are the progrip brand, it came as a roll with applicator which helped. Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.  :)
