Gday
First post guna make it a good one. I ride around on a really ratty looking 500F (progressine springs up front , GSX750F rear shock and cheapie CF muffler) and being a bike spray painter ive been putting of doing my own bike for a while. Now thanks to my mate on his zx2r who took up stargazing mid run on our beloved Wisemans ferry road and high sided into me at over about a $1,20 nearly killing himself and more importantly me in the process i finally have a good excuse to finally cleaning up my bike. Pics just after i lowsided after the crash.

sticker on the windscreen say i do my own stunts very appropriate
So since i do alot of work on gs500's im pretty tired of the stock scheme. I looked around and couldnt find any custom ones i like either, motoGP Suzuki is crap aswell. Then i found a beauty.
