Glen, I totally agree. I really like the bike without the mirrors sicking out-not to mention that they mostly gave me a view of my shoulders. The bar-ends clean it up nicely, and there is less turbulence on the highway at speed, something I noticed when I did the same thing to my old FZ1. I have wrap over the holes now, but will be having some mirror blanking plates made soon. I had those on the FZ and loved the way they looked.

That would be how they were stock, which I think is bland. In gold and black, on the right ride, they could look cool. Mine are solid satin black now, and I'll post pics once they are mounted. I like the wheel in pure black: Much more menacing. The silver faces made it look wimpy.

I had the bike professionally wrapped, Jedz. It was expensive, though not as much as the same effect would have been in paint. The fellow I had do it wraps high end cars such as Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches. He did me a favor by taking on the GS, but it was still $650 to have it wrapped."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."
