idk if WWWs ( wide whitewalls would work with the aluminum wheels? it might though. once im able going to grab 3 of those plus the rubber. ( which ill have to grab 4 of. since only sold in pairs).

Well one thing I've seen done on the custom car shows is they don't use white walls at all... instead they paint the rims in a way that with the tyre on it looks like a white wall tyre... of course they use low profile tyres too...

thinking ablut getting those wheels at some point and keep the black city tires. maybe use a bit of tire dressing to shine the sidewalls. whitewalls seem to only look decent on vintage type wheels or wires.

That radiator is fugly though... like big time fugly...

tbh i think nearly all bikes with some installed bad assitude have some fugliness to them. would love to see if they could say split the rad and hide it that way. ( like in exotic cars) btw i figure if im able ill just get the three alum. wheels and keep the black city tires and just polish the rubber with a bit of tire dressing.

Meh... Not to worry... none of us poor pikers will ever have to worry about such painful thinks like an 'ugly radiator' on a million dollar bike.
And forget about the f-ing insane 334HP power rating.  My GS500 was plenty for my shitty road-skills!

Now how bout' a nice pic. . .

 

Maybe this is better? 

kinda like putting 750bhp in a hellcat. fun? maybe. lethal prolly. but youd NEVER be able to use all of its power. tbh my first moto project will be another gs. after that i do want to build up a cbx. after goin thru a hellish carb sync on one, strangely i want one. course i AM weird. lol.

Power?
Hah! I'll tell you about power. . .
I traded my 02 Jeep Wrangler for a Toyota Rav4.
Before that I had a Plymouth Voyager. Yup, I know how to handle 'power'
-Ej-

Voyager!! What year?? Gotta be pre-1991...

The Turtle Van is a '94 Caravan

lol been there drove one.
aaron

Power?? My 450 got dyno'd at 32HP when I had the stock carbs on it 

EJ... good to see your lady friend there has colour coordinated herself with her bike too 

I need to pick a powder coat colour to go with my seat... left to right in the middle row is Really Red, Bright Red, and Astatic Red... so hard to tell from Internet photos!!!

Heh... your sled is gonna' be red. 

Hahahaha it is! Well... bits of it anyway...

Discovered my wheels need painting after all yesterday after giving them a once over with the pressure washer along with all the bits to be powder coated.

VHT wheel satin black is the go I reckon.

Got some cleaning and paint stripping done so I can start prep'ing some more bits for paint too... Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black for these bits...
