these are what i used on the bike thats pictured above you have to paint them but thats not a big deal or you can go to a salvae yard and get a couple of tops and flip them over and get longer bolts. these risers are cheaper though.

Also If you cut your bars and make them rider. you shouldn't have to but if you do to give you more room make sure you weld another piece in there I mentioned before how to do it email me if you have any questions. if you don't your bars will lib out and move and be uneven and will just cause you a lot of problems

  :thumb:THANK YOU FOR THAT LINK!!!! the only ones i could find were 75$ and up plus shipping!

and im not planning on cutting the bars, but if i have to ill keep that stuff in mind 

EDIT: oh and i forgot the camera today, ill get some pics saturday when i start getting into the fuel system.

[bluelespaul]

any one know where to get some of those little circle bar end mirrors for a decent price?

my dealer could only get them for 75$, idk if that just me but i think thats alittle bit much.

EBAY thats the answer to every question. Thats where I got pretty much everything that I changed out on my bike.

i can never figure out why someone would take a perfectly good faired bike and turn it into a naked one...but each to his own.  good luck with the mods

[bluelespaul]

i decided to jsut go with those little rectangle mirrors, i think theyll still look good.

and i got pics!











now i just gotta get the carbs off and clean out those jets and ill be all set

im gonna keep all my GS-F parts just in case i wanna go back, sorry

oh and does anyone know if a kink in the vent hose for the fuel tank would cause vacuum issues?  i just thought of it now that when i pulled the tank the vent hose had a HUGE kink in it, almost to where its creased.

EDIT: im not sure if vent hose was the proper name, i mean the one in this pic thats the farthest to the left, it just goes from the bottom of the tank, attached to nothing on the other end near the swing arm

I'm not entirely sure anymore since someone bought my GS about a year ago I think (lol), but I think that hose goes to the hole just right inside the fuel cap so that if fuel gets that high or spills in there, it won't overfill and spill onto the outside of the tank... (again, not 100% sure...)




Damn I miss that bike.    I sure wish I kept it as a track bike or something.  but at least someone is getting to ride her and enjoy her as much as I did.  (wow...  that sounded dirty.  lol)

[guitarking135]

your right just run it along the side of the bike with the battery drain cable

[bluelespaul]

      

i guess the bike will be back up as soon as i get my parts.

and An, when i make it down to chicopee, you can ride the GS again for a bit if i can ride the R6 

[bluelespaul]

UPDATE:

new bars and mirrors on. i LOVE them. havent gotten a chance to ride with them but just sitting on it feels exactly how i wanted. now i jsut need my brackets and headlight and ill be good to go. and ever since i un-pinched that hose shes run very well.

pics:

muuuch lower

looks good. Hopefully you get those risers on because after a good 20 mile jaunt; you'll probably starting feeling it in your back. Question: where does the air baffle mount up to? the Big plastic piece that was underneath the cowl; what was it bolted to?

[bluelespaul]

it was boled right under that little middle plate between my fork tubes (sorry dunno what its called lol) in the last pic you can see the two holes where it screwed in. theres that little ring looking thing thats kinda rusted, they are the two holes on both sides of that.

if my description sucks i can circle them in paint if ya want.

i already do have risers. and in those pics they`re installed... haha

[annguyen1981]

Me likey A LOT!!!     Especially the mirrors....  they just add the PERFECT touch.

We've gotta meet down where you live when it gets warmer so you can show me those great riding roads.

[guitarking135]
