Default new shoes for my new dd

lol... well I got some new shoes for the DR, they are off a GS500. Front need the tire rotated the other way and just flip the wheel cause the calipers on the other side and just a little caliper relocation bracket. For the back I will probably have to make some bracket off the swing arm but it bolts up just as well with a couple spacers. My front supermoto fender and rear mx fender should be coming in any day and I am gonna ditch the fork boots for some dirt skins as I wont be doing much offroading now. God its so cheap to mod a dirt bike, I have $200 into my wheels, tires, rotors, and fender

Damn that actually looks pretty good.. I have seriously thought about buying DOT hoosiers, mirrors a horn and singnals for my 440ex and get tags on it..

looks cute! i bet the wind is gonna tear you a new *** if you take that thing on the interstate though!

i just picked up a Suzuki Intruder 800 last friday, and took all the gay tassles and windshields off of it, and the wind is a **** on that thing. aerodynamics suck on cruisers!
