Would you be willing to share the details on your rear wheel rim and spokes? I would like to do mine like your. Thanks

I like #3. Black and red. The bike kinda looks like the old GS1000.

I planned on doing the plain black and gold because I really like the look of it. But after a bunch of hmming an haughing (how the hell is that supposed to be spelled) i decided to go with popular vote and what my wife was pushing for. I have the tail done and am halfway on the tank and fender. Here is a sample.

Im thinking of slapping a number in the red areas or perhaps make up my own logo design of some type that looks like an old suzuki emblem or something with some text.

Id really like to have a black and yellow old style license plate. But im not sure if I want to take the chances of picky cops having a problem with it. But I think it would look pretty neat.

What are you going to use for the final coat (topcoat) on the tank? Will it be gas/ethanol proof?

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

I have the same tank installed on my bike and am just so seeing if the gt550 petcock will work without any other modifications.

But unless someone else wonders I used the GT550 petcock. It fits, but was close to the engine so I carved a few mm off the fins to give it better clearance.

Such as this CB360 and a GT550. Im gonna be adding black rims to the LS650 in the next few weeks though. Here are some photos.

I want to see if it would look weird without any of the cafe mods but with a larger tank. Thanks in advance. YS

Ive been doing some changes lately to freshen up the bike. So far different speedo and new wheels and tires.

Ive got a new triple coming then Ill be installing that, a new headlight, change the fork seals and boots at that time. Once I have some time on the triple and speedo Ill post a review in case others want to try the same stuff.
