went from this:
to this:

Just a rattle can job but I took my time (yesterday evening and most of today), and it came out great!   

Aaahh....that pink sticker is now a melted up ball at the bottom of my trash barrel.

not bad i like the black wheels.

i spray painted mine till winter when i can get real paint on it

where did you get that bottom fairing piece?

ebay...saw it in the stores section...$27.00 plus shipping.   I need two of the mounting brackets though.  They might be tough to find.

i'd be interested to see what that paint has in regards to resistance to fuel. I painted a motorcycle tank once... it looked great until I filled it with gas...

Gas is gonna streak it.....that's ok though, this is a rattle can job and is expected to bear a lot of scars.

That looks sweet! I really like that scoop on the bottom.

looks a lot better than the bright red and pink.

I guess you dont want the black front wheel then, that I spent all day digging out and cleaning and making sure the bearings are good and wrapping it with bubble and packing it in a box ...      ... nice of you to tell me ... Fellow NC state citizen.
Cool.

Not a problem if you don't spill, ya know? At today's prices, who can afford to spill?

buddha if we had had a done deal, I'd have sent the wheel and the dough.   Shipping both ways kinda strong.  I had to look at some other options.   I'll be glad to send you a paypal to cover your packing/handling charge as a gesture of goodwill though.   Don't want to screw up my Karma. 

Bbaaaaa ... I dont need your pity $$$ more     
I barely saw that wheel, just wrote all that to bug you.
Besides being a moderator and then recomending you to have wheels for you bike and then trading you the wheel ... may be a conflict of interest.
Cool.

Well shoot.  Then how about selling me some of those fairing mount brackets you're sitting on.

To the one who has scorned my black wheel, I dont want to sell nothing ... humph ... 
You'll never hear the end of this, might as well get out and join back in with a different name. The membership of this site has increased several 1000 just because they crossed me (or pandy ... dont ever even dream of taking a pic of you sanding the purple, that is the end of you) ...  ...
Cool.

Nice.  Now it looks like a Honda hawk

YOUR BIKE, GS500


HONDA HAWK NT650

I'd like to have one of those Hawks!

Oooooo you could have ... but then you had to paint yours with rattle can ...     
I'm telling you, different Id ... only answer, the harassment is going to get worse and worse ... and whinier and whinier and for less and less and less provocation ...
Cool.
