That's been on here a few times. The guy was even on the board for a while, iirc.



f%$k me sideways, that wheel is the shaZam!.

yep a few of the british guys have done the swing arm mod, or there is the true gs modder jim kopf from germany, he does some wicked mods on the gs

What exactly does that achieve for a a GS? I thought that mod was to make a bike wheelie less.

It just goes to show you , you can win on anything if you throw enough money at it.  It's shows a lot of work, but how much money has he spent, $25,000?

that is soooo cool.

i was reading a pwc mag today, and there are twin turbo jet ski's out there (didnt know) i am now throung the idea around to turbo the gs,  somthing to do this winter any way.... i wish it was fuel injected. would be a lot easer.

That'll look nice.

Yeah I think so...but I've got some concerns about clearing the F's faring...not too worried, though.  That kind of stuff only looks good on naked bikes.  An F piece will likely just have one can.

the rgv swing arm is stifer than the gs's so doesnt flex as much, plus it look fu(ken cool
