    My GS850 Project

    Got the Bates luggage all mounted up. Wanted to make sure it all fit & do any modifications before sending it out for paint....

        Thanks!

        The tank, side covers and tailpiece are already painted. Going to have the front fender & luggage painted to match.

        Here's the tank:

          If the lights don't work now, they will. Have to clean a bit of corrosion out of the sockets - you know how that is.....

          Scotchlocks? Wash your mouth out!
