Damn that's impressive work. I like the solo tail, too. That looks like a very well done project!

Not for me, but it appears to be extremely well executed. I too like the solo seat, as it is well integrated and the design compliments the GSs lines.

GS500E123456: gold/black 1989 GS500E (Updated: 2004.3.9)
Purchased: 2003/01
Usage: (mileage not specified) miles, Racetrack.
Tires: Speedway 21/19/17"
Owner: Mads Lund
Email to Mads Lund
Location: Europe (Northern) --
Experience: 25 years in riding, a lot of racing expirience
Bikes Owned: 30
Photo: http://www.motorfun.dk/MFD-Beretning-Gandrup-080902/Oversigt/Sidevogn_500_Sport_1/sidevogn_500_sport_1.html
Modifications: A lot. Generally totally rebuild for speedway sidecar racing (see photo 3). Engine is a modified GSX400 with GS500 components. And a Akrapovic exhaust and mikuni smoothbore carbs an kn filter, putting 48 hp on the rear. I'm hoping that the next engine with 75mm pistons and megacycle cams can move it well into the fifties, and I planning on a putting 1/2GSX1100 topend on with ZX10 pistons, and moving the power into the sixties.
Problems: None, the package is running smooth and the bike pull's away from the start as a rocket (we win aprox 95% of the start's). There is a slight stability problem resulting in 2 major chrashes last year.

that's a very unique little GS, I'd love to have it. The body kit even looks good - the upper almost looks like it's off an EX500, but the lowers are obviously not. Pretty swank!

That sidecar that allows the bike to lean is crazy. Thats always been the downside of sidecars to me, you can't lean the bike, its like driving a three wheeler, what fun is that. Well that car solves that. And plus you and your grandma can tear up the twisties, haha.

I LOVE that bike and sidecar! That is well executed, and looks great, plus its on a GS! I was in the market for a honda shadow a while ago, but after riding it really didn't like it, but wanted it for the gf and I for comfort. That would be perfect! Thats cool.
