My wheels are smooth all the way around.  Are you trying to put them on the tires? Pics?

How funny...no. I'll take some pics when I get home.

Thought you'd get a kick out of that.

OCD, is that a newer SV650 light inside of a GS housing? I've been looking for a 7" round light with a clear glass but choices seem to be somewhat limited

Nice!!!  How did you get the rim tape to go around continously like that. On my GS I have indentations where the wheel info is so the tape does not stick properly on those areas. Maybe I just need to get wider rim tape.

Tape goes on the rims - which are perfectly smooth. They do not go on the tires.

WTF is everyone out of their mind!!! Do I have 1 post count besides my avatar! My bandit rear wheel is not perfectly smooth! If this keeps up I'm going to just paint a red line around my tire.  I'll see if I can take some pics of the indentations.

Are you sure you know which part the wheel is? You might be trying to put the tape on your fairing 

Um...Bandit wheel?

Yes it's a Bandit rear wheel. OK you bastiches...how do I tape over this..





A sneak peek at my new shaved top clamp and vortex clipon setup.

top clamp looks goooood! If you wanted it perfectly smooth you could put a layer of bondo on it and sand it flat(would fill in the old bolt holes as well). You could also get some of those button head allen head bolts so you wouldn't need the red spacers, would give it a nice finished look....



As far as the rim tape, I'd just try to find something to fill in those gaps, bondo again?? haha that's apparently my answer for everything.

Actually I didn't need the red washer but I have a red washer theme going throughout the bike so I thought I would put them there to add some color but those stock bolts stick out of the washer like bulging nipples  so I think I'm going to find some flat head screws to match the other washer/ flat head screw combos on the bike.

Don't know what to do about the wheel. I had the rim tape on them then removed them because of those indentations but I think I like them flat back like that unless there is a very simple solution.

bandit wheel? OK.
I guess I'm too much of a noobie to know why to use a Bandit wheel rather than a GS500 wheel (which doesn't have all that stuff in the rim).
But that explains it. Bondo, expoxy or something. Or paint the rim instead of using tape?

The bandit wheel lets you use a bigger rear tire, I wanna saw a 160mm wide.

I was also gonna say you could just paint the edge of the rim too.

Yup, 160! All bling and some go. 

Wait are yo trying to tape it to the tire? The wheels are smooth all the way around

Haha I'm just kidding people make me laugh. Namely Jerry Seinfeld, but other people too

Don't forget this guy!

While I can say I'm not really into street fighters, I ran across this headlamp that would look good on one or just a regular naked bike. Should Trey get one? You'd have to fabricate something for turn signals (to stay legal) but that should be no problem at all.
(Ouch! Just found they are $499  )


Then I found these clip-ons. They mount below the tripple and go around and above the tripple. This means you can have clip-ons and not have to adjust the forks (if you don't want the factory style)

Pretty cool I think!


Hmmmmmmm........... Suzi: she is the SUV. Junior: The red cafe sportster and maybe turn Trey a racer/fighter style? (Gotta do something with the extra Gimbel and Raask rear sets so.........   )
