Re: Suzuki GR650- Tanked!
I don't know, I do like the spokes but I think if you blacked out those mags it would look super tough. and I think the blacked out mags work with the tank and seat shapes from an "era" point of view. BUT the spokes work so it really is a personal preference thing. And you know me and blacked out wheels. Now, wheres that can of black spray paint?

I like the spokes! It does make a big difference in the attitude of the bike as far as looks go!

I have been on a huge Mag kick lately, so I say Mags.

Gotta say although I like the spokes they're visibly lighter. With the size of the seat, the bike looks top heavy. Paint may balance the look out, but as is you need the visual weight down low.

Re: Suzuki GR650- Tanked!
Hmmmm. I never even thought of that. Like I said, I can switch back to the mags at any time. I was talking to T71ford about the paint and I think we may have come up with an idea. I do plan on using the "real estate" of the seat for something other than carry on luggage. So maybe then the spoked wheels will have a better affect?

I reject your reality, and substitute my own!
Re: Suzuki GR650- Tanked!
Wow, your bike is really taking shape! I love the spoked wheels, too.

Re: Suzuki GR650- Tanked!
Everything looks awesome, Rich. Going off of Crescent's 'visual weight' idea, you could powder the rims a darker color, and it would blend the rim into the tire, making it look bigger. Just a random thought...it's what I'm doing with mine to balance a little.
And did I see you mention scheming with Tyler for paint? Oh boy, this is going to be cool...

Re: Suzuki GR650- Tanked!
Thanks Josh. I actually have been trying to tie up some loose ends on it. Should be getting the tank and seat done within a couple weeks. Still need a chain and to plumb the front brakes too. Oh! And get some rear sets......keep forgetting about them.
