Servus,

Hey Jim, what are those rearset? CBR 900? Instead of the extented bandit swingarm with added frame you could had use hayabusa swinger. Wait the hayabusa is shorter than the bandit so it's was good idea  :thumb:

servus,

to 1:  The Rearset is from GIMBEL and Original Part for the GS500 in Germany

to 2: The bandit Swingarm is stretched for 3,5" and looks more the Superbike Style than a Haya Swingarm! :icon_rolleyes:

More pics when finished.

Servus,

the orange GS is still broken, as the USD fork was outdated. Similarly, new chrome cover tubes, triple clamps and clamping blocks are in place.

The cusp is slightly revised and re-painted.

The wheels and swingarm are freshly polished and fitted with new tires.

New pictures then come the end of April.

Pretty nice right.

Jim Knopf

Servus,

from a technical ago the best thing I've ever seen. Beautiful details such as rear frame, and engine exhaust.

I am personally too much work in order to legally drive on Germany's roads.

Currently have only Poblem with my Airride. I need a new solenoid valve for that. Is from the company VIAIR.

Can anyone get this in the States and send it to me?

Servus,

the rear brake caliper is supported on the rocker. It was extra welded a bracket.

The front brake calipers are supported by a homemade holder, but this is not done yet.

Here another pic from the Bike:
