hello all hi im the new guy around here been lurking for a long time been reading just about everything on here i could. this is my 2nd gs500 first one was an 89 with the cool clipon handles bars. im not new to bikes been riding for 13 years off and on. finally found a woman who could put up wiht me got married and then she said she wanted to learn to ride her own bike. being that the gs is a great first bike i found one local paid 150 bucks for it fixxed it up and started teaching her. well soon the modding bug bite and he bike got turned in a track demon stock front end was too soft removed replace with a zx7r front end took a lil machining but no big deal much better now uses a 120/70/17 front tire then the rear tire just would cut it so i found a bandit400 rear rim which is 4.0 inches wide unlike the stock gs/katana rear wheel 3.5 inches so now with the bandit wheel i can run 160/60/17 tires which makes it handle alot better for some strange reason soon its getting a gsxr750 rear shock then it will be complete im leaving the carbs stock for now she doesnt need that much power yet. i also included a few pics of my creation.





opps i forgot about adding the ninja 600r upper and gauges .

Welcome brother wrencher! There are plenty of skinned knuckles, gray hairs, punk attitudes, and happy cyclers here...as if you haven't already discovered that.  

To be sure, the GS is a great test bed for messing around with mods.

Yours look good and best of all, your better half digs it too. Congrats!
