I'd like it, though the one time I tried tires like that they really sucked on pavement.  The curves I mean, I don't care about the buzzing.  So I would go with more street oriented dual sport tires.  

That gas tank looks smaller than the stock one.  That's a bad thing.

At the Redmond rally a couple of years ago somebody had a home-made R65GS.  I can't remember his name!  He's been on this forum.
