How to make the GS tear up the track?

[CirclesCenter]

Ok I went for the Race Tech springs up front (OMFG they are good) Now I'm wondering what I should do with the back end.

I've got my eyes on that high-mount Mak is cooking up in his kitchen, I'm planning on steel brake lines. K&N Lunchbox sounds good too. (Obvious rejet there.)

Obviously I need case guards and new pegs.

What else? Maybe an overbore, higher compression pistons? What about cams?

learn to ride that bike ont he track first, then buy a new one.

step away from the gs and buy a used gsxr600/ZX636/R-6

why waste time and $

buy a hammer if you need a hammer..... a rock just wont do the job for all your hammering needs

Maybe, but when I buy another bike it's going to be a Z1000

So I'll want my GS500 to be my track bike. Slow and inappropriate as it may be, I still have a blast on it.

then get rid of the crap stock front end

GSXR USD baby      is the only way to go

98 up kat 600 rear wheel

90-95 GSXR 750 shock.....or a penske/ohlins for same

then cut off everything you can to try to get it down to 300#

and it will still be a slow track bike....but it will handle really well going slow

^---what he said. if its going to be a purpose built track bike eventually, go with the whole gsxr front end...

[hmmmnz]

and a bandit or rgv rear end as they are lighter beinng made of aluminium

Yeah, I'm planning on keeping it, if for sentimental value alone. 

True, maybe I'll buy a used GSXR or something, but I'll keep the GS and ride it for kicks, maybe do a turbo or something weird like that.

Just thinking down the road.

Brake lines and case guards are a very soon kind of thing though
