Not all that glitters is gold!

Have just fitted the (020 shod) cast yellow wheels to my 1150. Look on it as a 'cheap' security measure as i'm guessing that no-one would want to steal it? Have come into work today via the scenic route -a 30 minute ride up the north cornish coast road (to scrub the tyres in). The handling with a 17" front wheel is superb!. What a transformation! Not really found out what contribution the 020's make to this, but overall the effect is fantastic.

Was going to save the spoked wheels for off-road forays, but Level 2 MBW course and possibly a KTM weekend might convince me that a second bike might be the best choice.

(yes i know the spark plug cover's missing, and if the hedge or anything else 'green' needs attention, then there is a whole horticultural department here that can attend to it)

wheels

Please keep this major handling improvement quiet.Otherwise the price of wheels will go though the roof,and I need another front to finish of someone elses bike so they move over to the darkside,and ever other GS will handle as good as ours.Ssshhh

You have even got double yellow lines.

A useful role model, but 'elegant taste' decrees that the next and probably final colour mod will be to mandarinise (made up word) the H&B engine bars. Besides which, whilst my dip and main beam aux lights aren't as large as those illustrated, they are bl**dy bright and they have the added 'bonus' of having yellow lenses - "which is nice".
