Hola,
I made a post  a few days ago about brake levers http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5210 and I'm wondering what is and isnt stock on my bike??? What kinda stuff did the previous owner do?  Heres the ebay link. It list a few things

At first glance your chain gaurd is Lockhart & Phillips and the belly pan is not OEM.( Targa maybe?)

Thast all I can see too. Closer pics would be nice, but the bar appears much lower than stock.

Add drag bars, shortened turn signals and fenderectomy to the list. Hard to tell anything else. I can't remember well what the profile of the stock tires looks like, but those don't look like stock, which is probably a good thing.

Interesting, the handle bars feel really agressive. I know they arnt stock, but compared to stock nd other aftermarket  how do they rate? agressive stance wise? Also what are drag bars? I thought the tires looked lower profile then stock. Hard for the novice eye to tell tho.

This is interesting tho, its like learning the heritage of my GS. heh

Drag bars are basically bars with no rise at all... they are pretty much a flat bar... with minimal bending towards the rider...
You want to be careful with those... The ones I have seen are very thin walled, and made from rolled and welded steel, not from mandrel drawn tubing like the stocker, and if you drop the bike they are likely to bend easy and hit the tank... Also they are very close to the tank as it is... Gino's were hitting the tank to begin with. The lower the bar... the stronger it has to be... cos if it bends too much it can cause more damage. Just my .02... in deciding what to make the bars from.
Cool.
