Look good. Might want to get the edges resurfaced while they are unmounted.

Excellent, then... Accompany them with spacers to push them out a little on the fat body of the 2GS and they'll look great! Did you get the staggered set or just the fronts all around?

H&R 25mm hubcentric spacers. will flush it to the fender, and are MOST DEFINITELY safe.
