wow...you you did get the headlight fairing??...looks cool 8)
Title: How many streetfighter GS owners here?
Post by: Jundie on January 26, 2004, 10:31:36 AM
good start, next thing must be changing your blinkers  :o  :P

btw imo a drag bar will make your GS look badass, a solo seat is also a good mod if you always ride without a passanger. maybe use that yellow to add a Hornet/Bee like striping?

Post by: Splash on January 26, 2004, 10:54:30 PM
Thanks... That "BEE" thing sounds cool.. I'll look into it

No It's not SMP's bike... I asked him and turns out I bought mine before he sold his!!!  Also... it had only 7000 kms on it... I would think SMP's bike wouold have more!! ;-)

About a month ago I sanded the crud off my triple tree as well. Although I didn't polish it like you did I kept it sort of brushed aluminum looking. Just like in your pic http://koti.mbnet.fi/hammu/gs/kolmiopala3.JPG . Then I painted it with some clear. I have an 89' with the original low risers, I sanded and painted those in the same fashion....Mark

Jundie~
Where'd you get the twin headlights.  I have the same 1/4 fairing and wanted to do exactly what you did!   :mrgreen:   I love dual headlights!
Do they illuminate well?  Tell me tell me!   ;)


Thanks!
Title: How many streetfighter GS owners here?
Post by: Jundie on February 19, 2004, 07:23:17 AM
they do much better then my stock headlight did. i ordered mine in a local Motorbike shop, it was in their catalog. the brand is Shin Yo. mine are flat black but there are the same in chrome. they cost me 115 euro so not to bad.

My bike is looking 'pissed off' now because of that small 'nose' in the middle of the 1/4 fairing. You get the eyebrows idea. That was the idea and it works just fine. Note that you'll have to bodge some custom attachment for the headlight and fairing to get it right. otherwise the fairing is too high on the lamps and it won't look 'pissed off'

I don't have a digicam so if I borrow it next time I'll make some pics on the attachment

found one more with the stock chainguard painted silver
