    You're planning on painting the bike silver? I love it the way it looks!
    Yes, I agree with UncleMike, The black is rich. Only suggestion I would have would be to bob the front finder to conform to the back and find some mirrors that are low like the bar.
    Beautiful job. It fits together really well. If you didn't know, you would think this came from the factory this way.......Brilliant!!!

      Even better, lose it completely and just throw on a fork brace. Perhaps some fork gators as well.

            I took it out on Sunday through the Malibu hills. I'm surprized how well it handled. I got a ton of compliments on it...since I took off the case covers that say "DOHC" and "Suzuki.....I had people asking me what it was....lol. I got a kick out of their reaction when I told them it was a zuki. After I got home I chopped the front fender and painted it black. I'll post that picture last.

                        Now I'm not sure. Just might have to be both, if it wouldn't be too cluttered.

                          Also.....can I get some opinions on th forks....Should I paint them silver, black, or polish them out like I did the side cases?

                            I'm thinking either leave as is, or polish them, but some fork gators would really set 'em off.

                              The fender looks great. I would strip it the same as the tank and side covers. That will tie it all together and make it look original. Only us GSers will know. Because you now have a black frt fender, and I'm assuming black calipers, I would polish the forks for a little contrast.
                              GREAT lookin job and like UncleMike said, man you put out..........

                                OK....forks are stripped of anodizing and sanded down.....time to pull out the buffing wheel and polish them! I'll take a pic of them as soon as I'm done...(about an hour).
