The headlight brackets look like an easy fix. I'd either get some rubber or nylon spacers(I used some leftover fuel line as spacers to go between my tail and the subframe, works great), or else I'd just bend the brackets so they point out a little bit, and then twist the hole setup inward.

I need to retract that previous statement. I thought the gap you were talking about was in the 2nd picture where the headlight wasn't reaching the other mounting bracket. Now that I look at them better I see you're talking about the sv headlight fitting inside that chrome outer ring, and not the other part. I'm confused though, did you just but the SV light and are trying to fit in into the GS body?? Why didn't you just pick up the whole gs headlight? Looks great either way though.

i am very much in like with your tail end. lmk how you like the clipons, i get fatigued after a while because of it's placement. I might order SWATT 1" risers.

If you're only lifting them one inch, I've seen plenty of guys just flip their clipons. Put the left on the right side, and the right on the left side, and angle them upwards. It gives you a slightly more dirtbike bar feel. It's free to try at least.

Red Tank 

Tank was super easy to change the color.  Fender was a little harder. 

Thanks man!  I wish those dang rings weren't glowing so I wasn't so distracted visually.

What about a black frame on either of those?

Maybe black frame and cowl/tank/fender too?

Thanks again!

I'll give it a try.

I could go either way. I really like it both ways with the red or black fender. I know black always looks good, but I feel like with how much work you put into it, you should stick with red instead of black. No one's even going to tell it doesn't look like a GS anymore if it's all black, or they'll just assume that it's a ducati because it'll all blend in. If you do paint it black, you should paint the frame and swingarm black as well.

I really dig this color combo!

Yup, that one gets my vote.  Of course, we all know the blue ones are faster!

I thought you already got the Swatt risers?!  I am sure I will not like the Gixxer clips.  But I will accept it as an opportunity cost for the swap, lol.

I had SWATT 2,5" and they were too tall for the brake line. I didn't have enough money to buy some new braided lines so I just went back to stock gsxr.

i think keep the fender red.. to match evrything else and the frame black is
