Looks nice! I don't agree with you about the original condition of your bike though, I have two purple GSs that look much worse than yours ever did. The purple does grow on you after a while, and with bikes that look like mine, you never have to worry about anyone stealing them...


yes but im a 22 year old male in school right now purple just wasnt working

ya it was fine shape just not a fan of purple at all

I'm 26 and I still say big deal. If you're so concerned about your manliness that you can't even bear the thought of being seen near something purple, you need to relax and take yourself a whole lot less seriously. If you're worried about picking up women, don't. The women you'll actually want to date could care less what color your bike is. Having a purple bike might even act as a good filter so you can quickly reject the ones who think riding a purple bike is sending some kind of message they're uncomfortable with.

If you shorten the stem - the non spacer method then you would prolly have to push the legs in up into the triples/clipon's ~3/4 inch.If you did spacer method you can leave it @ the stock location. I cant tell if you brake line is too tight especially on the lower 1/2 or not.
Cool.

with the front end jacked up there is still play in the lines from the splitter to the calipers

You didn't shorten the stem ? I cant see in that pic too well, but I think I see extra spacers under the triple. Then yes it wont have to be pushed in.
Cool.

Huh, OK I guess It dont need to get it pushed in then. Can you see marks on the leg where the lower triple used to be ? If you can ... is the lower triple now higher or same as that.
Cool.
