I was actually gonna do this first: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=48791.

and i used my crappy Photoshop skill to design a concept of what i am thinking. R1 Demon eyes  :thumb:



So maybe like... keep the original GS headlight, but cover parts of it, then add headlights to both sides. TRI-headlights!
then again this maybe too crazy for the little GS.

PS: what you mean by nose?

The beak that CBRFXR67 was talking about..

Also yeah kinda like that, but It was gonna be more low profile so during the day it would look really cool, cause you just see the lights on a black background, but as in your "AWESOME" photoshop picture, kinda like that, but take away the main headlight ALL together.

Edit: inner nerd; Kinda looks like an old school transformer :D

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, GS500f form tho! :D Cool find. Def favoring it. now we gotta figure out how to do that :D ofc I'm a cheap jew [no offence to any jews reading this] So I do it on the cheapo :D

I also came up with a good idea! The big hole in the middle, could cover it part up with fiber glass, than put a mesh over the hole /dark mesh but so air can still get in.. than get something to re-route the air onto the radiator/engine than customize the side fairings to cause a suction so the hot air will be sucked out and cool would flow in, sometimes.. my ideas are so wild. :D

BUT IT JUST MITE WORK!

here is my idea of what the side fairings would look like If I kept the round headlight.

the mesh part, is actually smaller mesh holes, just my photoshop skillz lacks... lol



I forgot to add it, but the belly pan would go pretty far back to. lol

sadface, I can't solo my bike.. as the girlfriend thinks my bike is a blast.. I enjoy her riding along tho. nothing says "I'm not a ghey butt pirate Harley nancy boy like the rest of these bikers around." ahhh florida.. home of the biggest harley fans in the world it seems. I'm actually re-doing my seat as I'm working on my bike. to make the seats more flat. so the rear rider stops sliding into me. :) also getting a red vinyl for the rear part, and keeping the front black :) give it cool effects. I just gotta find someone to sew it. old ladys are very good sewers :D

so what you think of the side panel should I do that? or got another idea?

Yeah, not complaining all that much ^_^

I like that bike, I'd have to say looks great.. But the fact its "been done before" is why I don't wanna copy it. as I'm a painter.. I don't like to call myself "good" because every self respecting artist thinks their own work is "bad". but I like to make new things that haven't ever been seen before.. I'll work on the layout.
