Yea ... why do all these things look so pretty ... I wanna find a rat and test ride it ... so I know how mine will be with the GR motor in it.
The clowns that have pretty bikes tend to frown upon random test rides.
Cool.

Yea, I like it but to much $$$
If I had that much I would have another GS

[tripleb]

it's a decent looking bike, but what do you love some much about it?

[The Buddha]

Ha ha ... newb ...
Look at that motor ... again ... closely ...
Cool.

Woah, would it really fit in a GS frame? Sweet!

[tripleb]

you'll have to forgive me because I don't know much about motors but it doesn't look that much different than a GS motor with a 2-to-2 exhaust.  Am I missing something?

And your insurance company wouldnt know the difference....

[tripleb]

so you can put that 650cc engine in a GS?  that's pretty cool...what kinda performance improvements do you get?

[The Buddha]

Ding ding ding ding ding ... we have a winner ...

OK ... now what performance ... OK I dunno, hence the wanting to ride it.

Cool.

since My work pc has a fliter at the coperate level, and i cant see the pics, which bike is that...I have an idea from my own mental notes on a 650 that may fit.  So which bike is this about?

[shiznizbiz]

it  will fit almost perfectly. however, the gs exhaust fire straight out. while the gr exhaust, off at angles. from what the buddha says some simple fab will take care of that. something i wanna try. cept dammit, now i need another gs

M buddy has a 82 gs650g.  The engine is an i-4 but the mounting points look identical to the gs's.  Im wondering if by some chance that engine would fit in the gs frame.  Only one way to find out.  Get a gs frame and that engine, and tinker tinker tinker.

Wow! I just did some searching and I think you might be on to something there. It's supposed to have around 73hp too.

Do what you gotta do to get them right and send me the bill Buddha.
$18's fine, and what ever else it takes, just let me know.
I do miss riding, all though I still haven't had time to mess with my exhaust.

[The Buddha]

Well its 18 and shipping and tax ... and the 45 for jets.
Usually I swap in somehting. I dont have anything that will fit.
Cool.
Buddha.
