those Rims!!... got any shinier!!?? 

looks good!!

Just wait, it gets better.

I know this might now be for everyone but it is my bike. Im way way too deep into it so oh well. At least it is my time and materials and not me paying a shop to do it for me

My new 2way alarm is installed. I got the front cowl on and windshield. My switches are wired. One of these controls the halo in my headlight. The second controls the lights on my body and fairing while the third controls the lights on my rims. Everything is torqued down. All my electrical is finished and tested. Tomorrow if the weather is good I will take it out for a spin. My main side fairings wont get added until I verify everything else is good. Also, me new OEM length kickstand came in yesterday so I put it on also

Got a question my friend, how is it you make the electrical connection to the rim lights? with the rotation and all?

Magic. It is something we sell although not locally as phuckers around here are too cheap.

Here is a video of my truck though

To answer your question though, we use electric motor motor brushes to touch a custom floating ring on the wheel and to transfer power to the lights on the wheel(s)

i used to wire my lights into an amplifier connected to audio. so lights would flash with music.

Yeah, there are lots of different modules to add on and let you do those kinds of things

That is really cool looking although I would not do that to my bike.  How are the laws where you live about that kind of lighting on vehicles??

Like I said, I sell these kits and sells hundreds per year. At events and shows, we sell and install. While it is always good to check with your local law enforcement, I can pretty much promise you cannot use blue or red while driving on the road. Any other color is fine as it does not "mimic" law enforcement.

most locations if not directly visible, blue or red is okay. BUT guaranteed you WOULD get attn from them whether wanted or not.

Latest and last pics.

Everything is finished for the most part. I still have to put on my fork brace and new right side engine cover. I have a tank pad that still has to go on. A few chrome spikes still have to get added. Sonic springs still need to be added.

I took it out for a test drive today and it run great (not that is ever didnt). The shift linkage works really good. It seems to shift easier and better. I DO NOT like the spring loaded foot pegs as they slightly fold up when your feet are not on them so when you do put your feet on them, you have to do it just right or you will fold them up completely. Not cool. I will work that out later though.

I like the silver. It's definitely different. What happened to that entire thread devoted to color choice?  This wasn't even one of them was it?  I'm not a fan of the spikes (or chrome in general) but to each his own.

......phuckers around here are too cheap.

a while back i had tried to sell the gtr ( the goped) i agree with your comment. they see the walmart chinese scooters and live by that rule. your light kit, ( like the gopeds) are far from chinese quality ( it appears to me anyways) which is why i decided to keep what ive got.

Spikes are not my thing either but they are at least a step above stock bolts (which I dislike even more)

The original color was silver base and flakes but then to add House of Kolor Brandywine on top. The problem is Im taking the bike out of town for Bike Week on the 1st week of May and simply dont have enough time to complete the next several steps.

I would have to lay 4-5 coats of Kandy, let that cure, lay at least 2-3 (maybe 4) solid coats of clear, let that cure, then wet sand with 1500 and cut/buff/polish

Looks Waaaay better than a stock GS500f.  I like the color & the decal-less look also.   

In the pics it just looks silver but in person and in the sun it looks amazing. I have a video showing everything I have done to it but I have to add a clip to it and then upload it

Insanely awesome progress Weed!!

It may not be ever persons style, but the attention to detail and amount of customization while still maintaining that sexy gsF look(not looking too over the top) is mind boggling good

Loving the color, the black/silver scheme pulls together so nicely with the black fender, seat, frame, and calipers. Color matching the rotor was a nice touch as well. My only gripe is the rear sets color- wish they were a little darker to match the engine's color.

Great work again, inspires me to get something done on my gs project.

You know what though, I'm one step ahead of you. I have two sets of engine covers here on the shelf. At first I was going to strip and painted them. Then I decided I might send them out to be chromed. Then I did t know how that would look either so I haven't decided anything although something will be done eventually.

What are your thoughts on it?
